The auditor in the pharmaceutical industry should have lots of skills: from the basics of an audit to the detailed technical knowledge he/she is expected to demonstrate in the different areas (classical chemical APIs, biological APIs, the manifold dosage forms – solids, liquids, terminally sterilized or aseptically filled items, the supporting technical services, HVAC, IT systems, Data Integrity, etc.). This course will provide insights to most of the technical areas and highlight critical process steps, which should be covered during the audit. The course is designed for internal and external auditors.
