When you're connected to your corporate network, quite possibly.
It's their computer, after all, and they can pretty much do with
it what they will.

If you're not connected to a network, of course they cannot.
If you're connected directly to the internet (say you take it
travelling or home) then it's still possible, just very difficult.

Thanks for asking!
