Course Description

Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) failures remain one of the most frequently cited deficiencies in FDA inspections. With the agency conducting over 1,000 inspections annually and nearly 20% leading to warning letters, organizations cannot afford weak CAPA systems.

Non-compliance can result in severe financial penalties, product recalls, and reputational damage.

This expert-led webinar provides a deep dive into FDA expectations, common CAPA pitfalls, and best practices to build a resilient, audit-ready CAPA system.

Key Takeaways:

    • Understand FDA CAPA Regulations
        • Gain clarity on regulatory requirements and how to align your processes with FDA expectations.
    • Master CAPA Execution
        • Learn step-by-step methods to initiate, manage, and close CAPAs effectively to ensure compliance.
    • Conduct Effective Root Cause Investigations
        • Improve failure investigations and prevent recurring issues with proven techniques.
    • Leverage Modern CAPA Enhancements
        • Explore how digitalization, AI, data integrity, and risk management can elevate CAPA effectiveness.

By the end of this training, you’ll have a clear roadmap to ensure your CAPA system meets FDA standards, reducing the risk of compliance failures and costly penalties.
