Quality Control Audit and MasterControl
A quality control audit involves verifying procedures for a number of items, including:

  • The operational functioning of a quality control department
  • Verification of the existence of proper facilities and equipment for quality control activities
  • Inspection and confirmation of SOPs
  • Confirmation of laboratory analysis
  • Verification of technical knowledge
  • Records inspection

Quality control audits can be GCP audits, GMP audits or GLP audits.  An audit checklist is usually compiled before the audit is conducted to ensure that no stone is left unscrutinized during the audit process. 

An automated compliance solution, or audit management software solution, can facilitate a quality control audit.  MasterControl QAAD™ is the perfect solution to meet all your quality and compliance needs.
