Interesting, cheers. I remember looking into this a bit for the US (pre-COVID I had lots of work trips there) and we were OK so long as we were employed by a UK company. Not quite sure how that would impact on our ability to do audits in Europe and possibly deal with other stuff whilst out there.

I think that in most countries in EU there are no issues with travelling to do actual business in the destination country. So if you're there to audit your company operations in an EU country or audit a supplier, you would probably be fine. I think fact finding missions and meetings are fine too.
I think that its only a handful of European nations that are limiting teleworking at the moment. It might even just be Austria (plus UK and Swiss). Not sure.

In the UK audit work is explicitly allowed as a standard visitor.

That article is not my main source, the Austrian embassy is. Under freedom of movement you are perfectly permitted to do a bit of work on holiday. As a third nation citizen, you are not permitted to perform any work at all while on a tourist visa. Even remotely for a UK company.
At this point in time its only possible to get a work permit to work for an Austrian company so you can't even apply for permission to work remotely while in Austria.
As jellybaby says, its actually the same in the UK for EU citizens.
Edit: Just to add some more weight to it, Mrs Hedge's company (a very large multinational) have consulted their lawyers and they have confirmed that it is impossible for a UK citizen to work remotely from Austria legally at this time.
