DESCRIPTION

Internal Audit is an incredibly powerful tool to identify areas of non-compliance. A well designed audit program is a critical tool in understanding, communicating, and mitigating compliance risk. This webinar will help companies use Internal Audit to effectively and efficiently maintain and improve their quality management system.

Why you should attend:

Almost daily we hear and read about companies receiving 483s, Warning Letters, and even Consent Decrees. Often executive management is surprised by these events. These companies face not only embarrassing media coverage but also costly investigations and corrective/preventive action. Quality and Compliance problems can seriously impact customer satisfaction, sales, market share, and ultimately business results. In some cases, management can face personal civil or criminal charges for failure to address issues.

These problems could have been detected by an effective internal audit program. Knowledge is power and internal audit is a way of gaining useful information about the state of the quality system.

Without an effective audit program, management is blind to the risks they face in delivering quality medical devices to their customers.
