What records should the IRB/IEC maintain?

Maintaining comprehensive records of IRB/IEC activities and meetings, along with ensuring adherence to GCP and applicable regulatory requirements, is essential for accountability and auditability. The records of activities provide the trail of approvals, determinations, and communications with investigators, showing what actions the board took and why. The minutes of meetings document deliberations, the rationale behind decisions, votes, and any conditions imposed, giving a transparent record of how decisions were reached. And enforcing compliance with GCP and regulations ensures that all these processes are conducted within the established ethical and legal framework, which is what inspectors and sponsors rely on to verify proper oversight. Taken together, these elements cover what the IRB/IEC must keep to demonstrate proper governance, not just isolated parts of its duties.
