External auditing of suppliers is a time-consuming exercise, but there are ways to ease the process. External audits are an expensive business, both for the auditing company and the supplier or contractor under scrutiny. The time involved in preparation, the audit itself, subsequent questions and clarifications and - for the auditing company - the writing up of the report, is not inconsiderable.
Even for a small facility, the hours involved for the total process can tie up the personnel involved for more than three days, and for larger sites it could be considerably longer. Multiply this by the number of suppliers a typical pharmaceutical house has - plus the number of internal audits carried out - and it comes as no surprise that large pharmaceutical houses have teams of dedicated auditors and even small concerns will have some staff seriously distracted from their 'real jobs' by the auditing process.
