The FRC fined the Big Four firm and partner Anthony Sykes over its 2010 audit of the carmaker, the latest in a long list of audit scandals surrounding the firm.
The Big Four firm will pay more than $17.1 million over misconduct on major work it carried out for collapsed Carillion Plc and data services company Regenersis.
Jennifer Wilson, the leader of Convergence Coaching, says that technological advance combined with changing client demand will lead the remote audit to become the norm.
