Abstract


These days, auditing is an essential role in a pharmaceutical company. A quality audit aims to improve a quality system by reviewing and evaluating all or a portion of it. It's a tool for reviewing pharmaceutical programs and making sure that the protocols and payment systems meet legal and regulatory standards. A team chosen by management to carry out this task or external, independent experts typically perform quality audits. It is possible to expand these audits to include contractors and suppliers. An audit will evaluate the benefits to the company of strengthening processes and creating a better system by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of quality assurance and quality assurance processes. This article covers a number of topics related to quality auditing in the pharmaceutical sector, such as its goals, planning, significance, advantages, and planning, as well as potential flaws that may arise. Using the Google Scholar search engine and the following keywords, this review provides a well-organized summary of the different guidelines that have been made public up to this point.
