Having a regulatory audit at your site can be one of the most stressful and consequential events your company can experience. This is especially true if you are not prepared and appropriately staffed for the audit.
Regulatory audits are the result of several factors. Your site may have routine annual compliance audits to maintain the ability to continue to manufacture/sell regulated products in a certain market. These audits are normally not product specific and focus on the overall quality system and manufacturing controls at your site. Another trigger for a regulatory audit might be pre-approval of a new product you wish to bring to market. These audits are normally focused on the product in question. A third type of audit would be your desire to market an existing product into a new regulatory market. Finally, there are audits or cause. This is where a regulatory body comes in normally due to a product issue in the field.
How you handle and conduct the audit can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the audit. A smoothly run, well organized response to the audit can result in a shorter audit, less disruption to regular business and a more favorable outcome.
