Audit and Mock Inspection Services Pharmacovigilance Auditing Services

Pharmacovigilance (PV) auditing is essential when balancing the risks and benefits of a new drug, biologic, or medical device. As regulators step up pharmacovigilance and place greater scrutiny on pharmacovigilance Quality Management Systems, it's up to you to assess internal activities, vendor relationships, commercial partnerships and others that comprise the pharmacovigilance system.

Patient safety depends on robust pharmacovigilance

Drug safety monitoring doesn't end at approval—it intensifies. Post-market surveillance reveals rare adverse events, drug interactions, and population-specific risks invisible in clinical trials. Regulatory agencies worldwide demand sophisticated pharmacovigilance systems that capture, analyze, and report safety data in real-time. System failures risk patient harm, regulatory action, and product withdrawal.

Pharmacovigilance compliance spans complex requirements—FDA's REMS, EMA's GVP modules, ICH guidelines, and country-specific regulations. Systems must handle spontaneous reports, literature surveillance, clinical trial safety data, and aggregate reporting while maintaining quality, timeliness, and accuracy across global operations.

We audit global and regional PV systems—including case intake, triage, medical review, coding, regulatory reporting, aggregate signal detection, risk management planning, and safety database controls. Interfaces with quality, medical information, and commercial functions are examined for data flow and governance.

Findings drive prioritized remediation plans that strengthen compliance with global safety reporting requirements and improve real-world risk detection—supported by our PV specialists who can backfill, train, or manage workloads during change.
