21 CFR Part 11: Complete Manual For Compliance Success - GlobalCompliancePanel Virtual Seminar - Webinar By GlobalCompliancePanel 2011

Overview: 21 CFR Part 11 is FDA regulation for electronic signatures and electronic records. It started by the Pharma - it is a good regulation for medical and Pharma companies but it is also a good guideline for other industries.

Why Should You Attend: FDA inspectors are ever increasing the number of inspections where they include Part 11 as a part of the scope or THE scope of the inspection. The trends and reports are showing that the FDA inspectors are focusing on electronic signatures and electronic records as more and more companies are implementing systems and technologies to support these activities. The number of warning letters is increasing proportionally and we as quality and other professionals utilizing the technology and systems to support our businesses are not ready - we are not ready to prepare and host FDA inspections when Part 11 is in scope, we are unsure how to best use and implement Audit Trails and certainly we have challenges with internal and external auditing for Part 11 compliance. This webinar will address all these topics and provides you with plenty HOW TO we as auditors and inspectors increase our comfort level with the regulation, with its elements and compliance and practically implement audit system and audit trails - especially since Audit Trails play major role in Part 11 compliance - they can be your best friends and/or worst enemies at the same time.
