Be audit ready and prepared for regulatory scrutiny with endpoint’s Audit Readiness Services
Don’t be a statistic! From the 2021 FDA Report, over the past five years the FDA has reported a failure rate of 36% in clinical trial site inspections. The 21 CFR 312.62 failure focuses specifically on record keeping – making up 33% of all failures*.
IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE INSPECTION READY
Be prepared and proactive – Good practice is to be prepared for any potential regulatory inspection and audit. Audit data logs must be sent directly to your Investigators at the end of the trial.
Audit logs must be reviewed periodically to ensure data quality, security, and integrity and to address any concerns as they arise.
WHAT IS INSPECTION READY & HOW DO YOU GET THERE?
Being “inspection ready” means, you should be prepared for an audit at any time. This includes having clear and specific procedures in place to guarantee adherence to applicable regulatory guidelines and making a solid commitment to proactive quality and risk management.
Regulators often review computer system audit trails as one of the key components to safeguard data integrity, and guidance requires that the FDA should be able to access audit data logs both at the study site and at any other location associated with the trial. Therefore, it is crucial for Investigators to have direct access to audit data logs post-study close.
These potential risks could jeopardize the specific clinical trial involved, future trials, and lead to delays, additional costs, and lost revenue.

Top Considerations for IRT Audit Data Management
In recent years there has been an increase in regulatory scrutiny from clinical trial governing agencies, with a particular focus on the validation of computer systems and the need for verification of data integrity and reliability through audit trail review. This heightened attention has created the need for Sponsors to understand their audit data more completely and create a plan for management.
