Best Practices in Preparation for an FDA Computer System Validation Audit

OVERVIEW

Effective and compliant computer system validation is critical to any pharmaceutical or FDA-regulated organization. Following best practices for developing a validation program that includes planning, execution and maintenance components will ensure that these efforts will meet all regulatory agency requirements and expectations. Preparedness will improve your relationship with the agency and ensure a more cooperative and successful audit experience.

FDA requires that all computer systems used to produce, manage and report on GxP (GMP, GLC, GCP) related products be validated and maintained in accordance with specific rules. In this FDA Compliance Training, you’ll learn all about how to prepare your system validation documentation for an FDA audit of your company’s computer systems.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
