Overview

The Covid-19 pandemic has almost eliminated onsite regulatory and supplier audits. It brought compliance uncertainty upon both regulators and manufacturers. 

A new type of audit has emerged through evolution- The Remote Inspection. 

Now that we are (hopefully!) nearing the end of the pandemic, one question remains- will the Remote Inspections stay with us or disappear? 

Most likely, it will stay with us to some degree, as it has some benefits. Furthermore, the industry will most certainly adopt a mixed approach.  

However, it means confusion and chaos for inexperienced auditors and auditee’s. 

Virtual audits present new challenges and dilemmas, such as: 

  • What types of audits are ideal for remote inspection, and which should you do only onsite? 
  • How to deal with and manage document review effectively? 
  • How to overcome technical issues, and what backup plans should you have? 
  • What to do when the auditee doesn’t want to cooperate?

In this webinar, you will learn to answer the questions above and more. You will get practical advice and recommendations for preparedness and how to conduct virtual inspections effectively. 

The speaker for this webinar, Fenton Fong, is a seasoned GMP manufacturing/compliance consultant expert. He has conducted a wide variety of compliance audits throughout his career and transitioned to having conducted over 20 remote inspections since 2020.  

He will provide practical advice and lessons from the pandemic and the near return to onsite auditing.

After attending the webinar, you will have more confidence in the upcoming remote audits’ preparations and execution. Additionally, you will know how to mix it up better with remote and onsite audits.
