TOPIC BACKGROUND

Auditing vendors of computer systems regulated by the FDA is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, such as 21 CFR Part 11, which governs electronic records and signatures. Implementing best practices in these audits helps identify potential risks, verify system integrity, and ensure data security and accuracy. Proper auditing also minimizes the risk of non-compliance, avoids costly penalties, and ensures that the vendor’s systems meet FDA requirements for validation, traceability, and accountability, ultimately safeguarding product quality and patient safety.
