- Exactly what the FDA looks for and why, including examples of noncompliance and regulatory concerns

- How to choose an approach for efficient and repeatable validation
- How to fit spreadsheet validation into your traditional QA and validation processes

- Sources of FDA publications on spreadsheet use and validation
Plus, you’ll learn about third-party software features that improve security and audit trail capabilities within Microsoft Excel spreadsheets ... and see examples of documentation contents and test scripts used during validation.
Step by step, Mr. Harrison will walk you through his own spreadsheet to demonstrate what functionality needs to be validated and what security controls need to be put into place.
