Compliance Training Webinars for Regulated Industries

Both the U.S. FDA and EU's MDR expect documented risk-based clean room manufacturing environment per ISO 14644-series, ISO 14698-series (and the old FED-STD 209E).

Effective Oct 1, 2024 – Amendments to the Rules included Risk Management Topics, such as "Expanded use of Return Reason Code R17"; "funds availability exceptions" and "Unauthorized Return changes for the RDFI with timing of the WSUD and returning unauthorized transactions".
Effective April 1, 2025 – An Amendment carried over from 2024 includes the "Expanded use of Return Reason Code R06"
Effective March 20, 2026, two Rule amendments (Fraud Monitoring – Phase 1) – monitoring for Faud (as part of a larger Risk Management package) intended to reduce the incidence of successful fraud attempts and improve the recovery of funds after frauds have occurred.
Plus, two additional Rule amendments on standardizing Company Entry Descriptions (also part of Risk Management-relating to Fraud) become effective on March 20, 2026.

As part of the Case for Quality program US FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health noted how an excessive focus by industry on compliance rather than quality may be diverting resources and management attention toward meeting regulatory compliance requirements vs. adopting best quality practices. There has also been a lower than anticipated investment in automation and digital technologies, which could greatly improve quality and process control. A key element is a risk-based, product quality and patient-centric approach to Computer System Assurance (CSA) vs. the traditional Computer System Validation (CSV) waterfall approach. This encourages critical thinking based on product and process knowledge and quality risk management over prescriptive documentation driven approaches.

This is where FDA determined that “WHAT” is required can be done (the “HOW”) in different ways and does not have to be according to the “checklist” mindset of most CSV work, where you create documents without specifically addressing the risk of potential failure of each requirement.

GAMP®5 supports the use of incremental, iterative, and evolutionary approaches including agile, for development of custom applications. Keys to success include a robust Quality Management System and well trained and highly disciplined teams following well-defined processes supported by tools and automation.

Statistical Methods are typically used to ensure that product performance, quality, and reliability requirements are met during the Design Validation phase of product development. This webinar discusses common elements of sample size determination and several specific sample size applications for various design validation activities including Reliability Demonstration/Estimation, Acceptance Sampling, and Hypothesis Testing.

This webinar will teach attendees best practices for conducting effective quality audits to ensure regulatory compliance. Learn how to avoid potential pitfalls during the audit process.

This course will provide a thorough review of regulatory guidelines on method validation and transfer. It provides guidance on how to perform QC analytical test method validations and transfers.

Computer system validation has been regulated by FDA for more than 30 years, as it relates to systems used in the manufacturing, testing and distribution of a product in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device or other FDA-regulated industries. The FDA requirements ensure thorough planning, implementation, integration, testing and management of computer systems used to collect, analyze and/or report data. Electronic records and electronic signatures (ER/ES) came into play through guidelines established by FDA in 1997, and disseminated through 21 CFR Part 11. This code describes the basic requirements for validating and documenting ER/ES capability in systems used in an FDA-regulated environment.

Regulatory compliance audits can be taxing and worrisome for anyone. Having an OSHA, EPA or State Department of Environmental Quality Audit can open an organization up to receiving regulatory citations, monetary fines, negative company press, etc. The purpose of this webinar is to cover the key concepts of how to successfully navigate through a OSHA Audit.

CGMP companies must develop / implement formal software V&V for medical product under IEC 62304 and a key US FDA Guidance Document.

Mapping and evaluating all the steps in a pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution workflow can lead to valuable process improvements. In this webinar, we discuss how this review can be accomplished and the possible benefits that can result.

We need to be aware of the Sanctions imposed for others when we conduct our business in financial institutions. Sanctions are penalties or other means of enforcement used to provide incentives for obedience with the law, or with rules and regulations.

This training program will take attendees through the actions to take when confronted with an active shooter and in assisting responding law enforcement officials. It will help recognize potential workplace violence indicators and describe actions to take to prevent and explore the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act.

This 21 CFR Part 11 compliance training will guide you through the requirements of Part 11 and will also explain its 3 primary areas: SOPs, product features and validation (10 step risk based approach).

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted into law on June 28, 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2020. CCPA provided a variety of consumer privacy rights and the obligations of business related to their storage and sale of personal information.

Voters in California voted to approve Proposition 24, a ballot measure, on November 3, 2020, which created the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The purpose of CPRA was to modify and expand the requirements of the CCPA, thus amending the original act. CPRA is commonly referred to as “CCPA 2.0.”

CPRA ends the ban on providing the CCPA’s consumer privacy rights to a company’s employees. Under CPRA, all employers must respond to requests from employees to access or correct their personal data. Enforcement of CPRA will become effective in July 2023, enabling companies six months to ramp up their efforts to comply with it.

CPRA also extends new protections to consumers residing in California. Those organizations doing business with these consumers are subject, based on defined threshold of operation, to the compliance requirements.

The US FDA, after years of discussing the harmonization of 21 CFR 820, Device CGMPs (QSR), to the ISO 13485, Device QMS, has finally published their QMSR to replace the previous QSR. On February 02, 2024, they published the final rule in the US Federal Register that revises 21 CFR 820 to include ISO 13485:2016 by reference, called the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR).

This webinar will discuss the FDA requirements and guidelines for investigating Out-of-trend (OOT) results in the pharmaceutical laboratory. It will also cover FDA compliant documentation of OOT, failure investigations, root causes and CAPA.

This webinar provides details regarding the generation of acceptance sampling plans often used in process validation and production control to ensure quality of final products. By attending this webinar, participants will be able understand the key inputs and issues involved in determining acceptance sampling plans. Sampling plans for attribute data are the primary focus although variable acceptance sampling plans are presented as well.

This webinar will focus on the Process for Quality Agreements and requirements that must be implemented to ensure compliance with the latest quality and regulatory requirements. Attendees will learn the reason for implementing a Quality Agreement system to assure adequate controls for Service Providers.

The Nacha Operating Rules are always changing, and recent Rules changes include adding responsibilities and requirements for a TPS (Third Party Sender) and nested TPS as well. This session will cover EVERYTHING needed to know for TPS compliance requirements, beginning with helping the attendee identify a Third-Party Sender (TPS) and a “nested” TPS. Discussion will cover the details pertaining to the requirements with the updated Rules relating to a larger Risk Management package intended to reduce the incidence of successful fraud attempts and improve the recovery of funds after frauds have occurred.

This webinar will help attendees to learn SPCC Implementation Plan Best Practices. The US EPA requires an SPCC Plan to be prepared by companies that use certain petroleum-based chemicals and Oils.
