What should the sponsor ensure regarding auditing procedures?

Auditing in clinical trials should be governed by written, standardized procedures that spell out what will be audited, how the audit will be conducted, how often audits occur, and the form and content of audit reports. This ensures audits are planned, consistent, and traceable, providing a reliable basis for identifying issues and taking corrective actions. A formal audit plan typically outlines scope, criteria, methods (such as document review, interviews, and on-site observation), frequency, responsibilities, and reporting templates. Without documented guidance, audits can become informal or ad hoc, the scope may drift, and findings may not be captured in a way that supports timely remedies. Reports are not optional; they communicate results, support accountability, and form the basis for corrective and preventive actions.
