Webinar: Auditing of Data Integrity - Approaches and Tipps
Thursday, 5 September 2019 14.00 - 15.30 h
Course No. 17502
Background
The auditing and assessment of data integrity is getting more and more relevant. This includes its coverage in authority inspections, external and internal audits, self-assessments and other type of assessments. Auditing and assessing data integrity is of paramount importance within the quality risk management of any life sciences company’s quality System.
There are many reasons for the growing relevance of data integrity, even though it is no new requirement. Some of them are:
the increasing usage of electronic records and signatures across the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry
the ever growing complexity of the IT landscape
the implementation of new technologies (e. g., Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Track & Trace, IoT)
the associated growing focus on data integrity in public authority inspections in the last years
evolving regulatory requirements and guidance as well as standards in technology
However, economic activities such as headcount reduction, efficiency and productivity optimization, outsourcing of processes and activities, growing complexity in the supply chain, etc. lead to an increasing importance of data integrity audit programs as well, as these can have a serious impact on data integrity.
Target Group
The Webinar targets responsible individuals in quality assurance, quality control, audit departments, production and IT as well as other relevant departments being subject to inspections or audits, or auditing / assessing data integrity themselves.
