cGMP Audit Overview:

A cGMP audit is an assessment of a facility's compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

During a cGMP audit, a qualified auditor will review the facility's operations, processes, and documentation to ensure that they meet cGMP requirements. The auditor will evaluate various aspects of the facility, including:

Equipment and facility maintenance: The auditor will evaluate the facility's equipment and infrastructure to ensure that they are properly maintained and cleaned.
Documentation: The auditor will review documentation related to production, quality control, and testing to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and properly maintained.
Standard operating procedures: The auditor will review the facility's standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure that they are up-to-date and accurately reflect the facility's processes.
Personnel: The auditor will review the facility's personnel training records and qualifications to ensure that they are adequate for the tasks being performed.
