Key Learning Points and Final Discussion

Audit Trail Review


Why Is An Audit Trail and Its Review Important?
  • Part 11 and Annex 11 / Chapter 4 requirements for audit trail
  • Regulatory requirements for audit trail review
  • Guidance documents for audit trail review
  • Do I really need an audit trail?
What is in a Name?
  • What do we look for in an application for auditing?
  • Pros and cons for event logs and audit logs?
  • Which audit trail(s) should I review?
Workshop 1: Which Audit Trail to Review?

What are GMP-Relevant Data?
  • Annex 11 requires that audit trails monitor GMP-relevant data – what are GMP relevant data?
Workshop 2: Identifying GMP Relevant Data

Review of Audit Trail Entries
  • Guidance for frequent is “frequent review” of audit trails
  • Process versus system: avoiding missing data integrity issues when only focussing on a per system review
  • What are we looking for in an audit review?
  • Suspected data integrity violation - What do we need to do?
Workshop 3: Reviewing Audit Trail Entries

Technical Controls to Aid Second Person Review of Audit Trails
  • Technical considerations for audit trail review e.g.
  • Identifying data that has been changed or modified – how the system can help
  • Documenting the audit trail review has occurred
  • Review by exception – how technical controls can help
  • Have you specified and validated these functions?
