More than one pre-audit on any one site in the same company shall be considered consulting. The auditor must decline requests by the supplier to return to the site to confirm that pre-audit observations have been satisfactorily resolved before commencing the certification audit. 

Consultants to the supplier cannot participate in the audit. The auditor needs to establish whether consultants are present and if so what role the supplier intends them to perform. Consultants can be observers but cannot answer questions posed by third party auditors. 

If your company has an in-house audit function or standing team, try to enlist their support, either on a consulting basis or to conduct the PSM assessment under your team s direction. At the very least, make sure they know about the PSM assessment, to avoid potential misunderstandings. 

The team should be realistic about the time required to see improvements in end-of-pipe measures in most cases the pilot project success will be measured on efficiency improvements and other in-process measures alone. In this case it is important to demonstrate that all PSM and ESH issues are being managed. You should consider having a management systems audit (validation) conducted by a group independent of the integration project team. This may be done in conjunction with the next scheduled audit. This may be a corporate or divisional audit function or a consultant engaged specifically for this task. 

As well as providing technical controls, management must consult local legislation and conduct pollution audits. 

Because of the complexity of computer hardware and software and because of the intricacy of a risk assessment, the FDA has to all intents and purposes adopted an indirect regulatory posture. Regulated companies are informally urged to conduct independent audits of Part 11 compliance, utilizing in-house or consultant expertise. The agency can then review the details of the audit report and the credentials for experience, expertise, and independence of the auditor. Follow-up investigation of speciflc points can then be laser-focused on specific areas of concern. 

They trained in-plant personnel and consulting engineers on how to conduct waste reduction audits in order to increase the in-country capacity for such activities. 

The secretary not only can but must inspect and audit chemical facilities and determine regulatory compliance. If the secretary finds a facility not in compliance, the secretary must write to the facility explaining the deficiencies found, provide an opportunity for the facility to consult with the secretary, and issue an order to comply by a date determined by the secretary. If the facility continues to be out of compliance, the secretary may fine and, eventually, order the facility to close. 

In a similar manner, QA departments and consultants paid for by the sponsor will conduct audits of investigator sites. Again, as with the clinical trial monitor, there may be some annoyance among the investigator and his staff that some person, who may not be a physician, should be appointed by the sponsor to review the clinical trial documentation at the site.

Unlike the freshwater biota, POPs in local marine fish and shellfish were relatively well studied. Data were retrieved primarily from two toxic substances consultancy studies (EPD, 2003a,b), the EPD ad hoc baseline survey (EPD, 2003c), and the 2004 CEDD Environmental Monitoring and Audit for Contaminated Mud Pit IV at East Sha Chau (CEDD,... 

There is an industry trend toward dedicating specific personnel to the function of internal audits and quality assessments. This approach allows the assessor or auditor to focus on the compliance of the company and its vendors and contractors as well as maintain an independent role allowing for impartial assessment of all areas, including the QA unit. Those companies whose assessors and auditors also perform QA responsibilities might seriously consider the regular use of an independent assessment group, such as corporate auditors or an independent consultant. A fresh pair of eyes, coupled with extensive exposure to multiple worldwide operations, makes using external auditors, preferably with some former FDA experience a tremendous asset to any company. 

These resources limitations leave the FDA with some difficult choices. The Agency can, in effect, outsource by increasingly relying on outside expert consultants who provide client companies with reports of compliance audits, validation reviews, chemistry, manufacturing, and control analyses, and the...
