Audits often expose more than isolated findings. We frequently see organizations struggle not because requirements are unclear, but because audit preparation, execution, and remediation are treated as separate activities. The result is repeated observations, limited root cause resolution, and increased regulatory risk.
At BioBoston Consulting, our integrated audit services are designed to support the full audit lifecycle, linking GxP audits, internal audits, and supplier audits into a single, risk-focused framework that strengthens quality systems and inspection outcomes.
Audit Preparation: Building Readiness Before the Audit Begins
Effective audits start well before the opening meeting. We support organizations in preparing for GMP, GLP, and GCP audits by aligning documentation, processes, and teams to regulatory expectations.
Our audit preparation support includes:
- Risk-based internal audit planning aligned to FDA, EMA, and ICH guidance
- Readiness assessments for supplier audits and partner audits
- Review of SOPs, training records, data integrity controls, and quality metrics
- Mock audits to prepare SMEs and leadership for regulator or sponsor interaction
We often see that focused preparation reduces audit disruption and allows teams to demonstrate control with confidence.
Audit Execution: Clear, Consistent, and Regulator-Ready
During audit execution, clarity and discipline matter. Our senior auditors, many with former regulator or inspection experience conduct audits that are thorough, objective, and aligned with current regulatory expectations.
Our execution approach supports:
- Internal audits across manufacturing, laboratories, clinical operations, and QA
- Supplier and vendor audits to strengthen third-party oversight
- Real-time risk classification of observations to prioritize impact
- Clear, defensible audit reports that support inspection readiness and management review
We focus on audits that identify meaningful risk, not just checklist deviations.
Audit Remediation: From Observations to Sustainable Improvement
Audit value is realized during remediation. We support organizations in moving beyond corrective actions that address symptoms rather than root causes.
Our remediation support includes:
- Root cause analysis linked to quality system weaknesses
- CAPA development and execution aligned with regulatory expectations
- Integration of audit findings into QMS improvement initiatives
- Management oversight and effectiveness checks to reduce repeat findings
We often see organizations reduce repeat audit observations when remediation is approached systematically and owned across functions.
