Access-Sciences-Regulatory-and-Audit-Compliance-FAQ

I’ve received negative audit findings about the way we manage our information. What do we do next?

YOU ASKED:

The first step after receiving a negative audit finding is to perform root cause analysis. Why did this occur? This analysis can be done internally or through an external third party. In order to create a plan for remediation, it’s important to identify the true causes as well as to review the IM program holistically. Possible causes could be related to people, process, or technology.

You will also want to engage business stakeholders to demonstrate how this audit finding can have impacts on the business in terms of reputation, costs, and most importantly, safe operations. Transparency and accountability are important during this process.

Once a plan for remediation has been set, don’t forget a framework to demonstrate progress to internal and external stakeholders.
