Internal Audit for Medical Device Companies
Internal Audit should be a key part of self-awareness and understanding strengths and weaknesses within your Quality Management System. It should be an essential guide to corrective and preventive action and drive improvement. But it doesn’t always work that way. In this webinar, we’ll cover the reasons internal audit doesn’t work and how you can correct that. This webinar will explore how to improve your internal audit program, so it is an efficient and effective tool it is meant to be. Internal Audit is a required part of an effective quality system. More importantly, it is an incredibly powerful tool to identify areas of non-compliance and quality risks. A well-designed audit program can be an effective tool in understanding, communicating, and reducing quality and compliance risk.
However, many companies conduct audits only because they are required to by regulation. Businesses often see internal audit as a non-value-added activity leading to meaningless findings, bureaucracy, and cumbersome processes. And despite having an internal audit program, management is often surprised when they receive a 483, Warning Letter, or even a Consent Decree.

Continuous Improvement starts with an awareness of issues and opportunities. And without an effective internal audit program, management lacks awareness of the issues within their quality system. Management is blind to the gaps in the quality system and the risk that poses for the company. Even worse, management is blind to the impact on product quality and risk to the customer.
