Course Description

Where you focus your valuable QA resource ultimately determines what you discover at audit. Therefore, to maximise the value of your QA resource, you must apply a robust risk-based approach to auditing by focusing on the areas that matter most and bring the greatest benefit to your company.

In the new ICH GCP E6 R2 world, a risk-based approach to clinical trials, including audits is essential. Since companies manage risk at many different levels. The QA group must assess their company’s approach to risk, actively evaluating and visualising risks themselves to determine whether the approach is fit for purpose. However, the application of a risk-based approach to clinical audits can be challenging as it requires:

• An understanding of the companies’ approach to risk
• An ability to identify and assess the potential compliance risks of the company's business strategy
• An ability to challenge the risk-based approach in the conduct of clinical trials

Therefore, clinical auditors and quality professionals will need to have the skills and confidence to embrace these challenges. They must also learn to apply a risk-based approach to clinical audits and leverage this approach to deliver high-quality audits.

This course provides you with the grounding that will allow you to become familiar with the impact a risk-managed audit program can have on the successful execution of clinical trials and how it can be applied to the key aspects of planning, preparing, developing, and conducting clinical audits.
