Why Two Types of Software for Internal Audits?

Both solutions for internal audits help companies assure a quality audit. The differences in audit software have to do with a company's size. Large organizations typically need to perform different types of audits than smaller organizations.

MasterControl QAAD™ Provides Audit Software to Meet the Complex Needs of Large Organizations

MasterControl QAAD is a centralized and Web-based solution for conducting internal audits that provide the flexibility and quality control needed by organizations that have multiple products and facilities, often scattered around the world.

MasterControl QAAD --

Centralizes information pertaining to internal audits across departments;
Allows users to raise quality issues across departments;
Provides advanced CAPA functionality (for example, allows CAPAs to follow different workflows within the same internal audit);
Allows users to define an unlimited number of business areas;
Facilitates management of quality activities, whether they are QC, QA or QM-related;
Allows users to standardize templates for risk assessments, judgments, categories, findings, CAPAs, root causes, activity workflows, and other documents and forms;
Automates reporting and report responses for internal audits;
Automates system and email messages/notifications;
Automates the prioritization of findings in internal audits by allowing users to filter-out less urgent issues;
Tracks corrective actions and preventive actions;
Simplifies the receipt of follow-up activities;
Allows users to query data by department, site, supplier, company or person.

When it comes to the quality and flexibility that large companies need for their internal audits, the sophisticated yet easy-to-use functionality of MasterControl QAAD undoubtedly explains why it is the audit software of choice, used by well over half of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies around the world.

MasterControl QAAD provides numerous standardized reports to meet the needs of large companies -- including the GLP-required Master Schedule and QA Statement, and the GCP Compliance Statement.

MasterControl Audit™ Assures a State of Continuous Quality and "Audit Readiness"

Smaller companies, although many have multiple facilities, may not need software for internal audits that provides the complex functionality of MasterControl QAAD. Sure, the advanced functionality would be nice, but all these companies really need -- for the time being, anyway -- is software for internal audits that assures quality and minimizes risk by assuring a continuous state of "audit readiness". For these companies, MasterControl Audit is ideal.

MasterControl Audit is a centralized, Web-based solution that automates the scheduling of recurring audit-related activities, and provides audit tracking and internal audit reporting, as well as automated task assignment and follow-up.

Both Audit Solutions Integrate with Other MasterControl Quality Solutions

Both internal audit solutions that we offer can be seamlessly integrated other solutions in the MasterControl Quality Suite™ -- solutions such as document control, change control, CAPA, training control and supplier management, to name but a few of the quality solutions available in the suite.
