Audit Trail Specification & Audit Trail Review

In 2016 a lot of questions were asked about the good old Audit Trail and about the new topic of the so called “Audit Trail Review”. CCS has published a concept paper for an Audit Trail Specification and some considerations for the Audit Trail Review approach.

  • What is an Audit Trail – in the GMP context of the PQS?
  • What is the difference of a log and a GMP Data Audit Trail?
  • What is an Audit Trail Review good for? How often? Why?
  • What should be reviewed – function or data? What are the results – knowledge management?
  • Detection of data manipulation? Data Audit Trail or Activity Trail required?
  • Which data should be audit trailed and which one should be reviewed?
  • What are CPPs, CQAs, system parameters and/or master data / meta data?
  • How should a specification look like for a real GMP Data Audit Trail?
  • Why is the reason for change so important for a real GMP Data Audit Trail?
  • User roles and concept: Different types for the role Administrator?
  • GMP documentation with instructions and records vs. electronic data?
  • What is GMP critical data and knowledge management – on product and process level?
  • Which roles should be audit trailed and when and if so, how?
  • Is the Audit Trail Review executed manually or automatically?
