Why should you attend?

All pharmaceutical firms, whether Over-the-Counter or Prescription, are subject to FDA inspections as soon as they submit a drug listing, an application for a new or generic drug, or introduce a drug into interstate commerce. Customers, such as chain drug stores, are also likely to audit a new firm before buying anything from them and periodically thereafter. If a firm has a process in place for self-auditing, inspection planning, and practice, they are more likely to have a successful FDA inspection or customer audit.
