Training overview

The training course “Audit and Inspection in the pharmaceutical” aims to provide participants with useful tools to manage the entire audit lifecycle. In fact, the GMP Audit represents the main tool for the evaluation of a company’s compliance status and for an effective verification and improvement of the Quality Management System. There are two types of Audits: Internal and External, each with a specific purpose; the first, mandated and functional to ascertain and improve the application of GMP within the corporate organization, the second, deputed to the selection, qualification, and maintenance of a specific supplier of goods and/or services. Added to this is the Regulatory Audit or Inspection, carried out by Regulatory Bodies (FDA, AIFA, Ministries etc.) and aimed at maintaining or revoking the company’s GMP certification status for placing products on the market (MAH). The professional figure within the company’s Quality System who is designated to preside over these two types of audits is the Auditor, who represents a key figure in the Quality System.

The training course “Audit and Inspection in the pharmaceutical” will also explain you the inspector’s point of view and the critical aspects for a successful inspection outcome.
