The purpose of the FDA inspection is a verification activity that should demonstrate to the regulatory agency and provide assurance that products consistently meet quality expectations and that your company is operating in a consistent and compliant state of control.

The key to a successful audit is being able to communicate how your quality systems assure this state of control.
