While this will be difficult for some business functions, some business functions can overcome challenges and even work better in remote mode.

While Compliance and Auditing always needed physical presence of some sort, performing the main function itself does not. Consulting Companies have been working in this direction even before the lock-down of COVID 19.  While some had created good platforms for exchanging documents and follow up on progress, it is very important to look on the process end-to-end to guarantee security, collaboration between stakeholders, project tasks follow up, and reporting on different levels.
