Most audits are done by one auditor, although additional auditors – former FDA employees and industry specialists – are brought in as required. The typical audit includes some level of remote review of SOPs and policies to better focus on the onsite work, lasts between 2-3 days per site, and then relies upon an additional 20-30 days to draft the initial report and detailed recommendations, review the report with you, incorporate your feedback, and then finalize and submit the report.
