This document discusses how smartphones can be useful tools for auditors and inspectors. It outlines two learning objectives: 1) to understand how smartphones can aid in field work and 2) to identify iPhone apps that are available. The document promotes the use of QR codes to share URLs, text, phone numbers, and SMS messages. It was presented as part of a continuing education program for architects.
