On Thursday April 18, 2013, Ty Mew will be a featured speaker, giving the presentation:  Excel Spreadsheet Validation 101 — Proven Techniques for FDA Compliant Spreadsheets.

Learn how to Create and Validate Spreadsheets in FDA Regulated Environments

Easy-to-create and surprisingly powerful and flexible tools for data storage, spreadsheets are so common that they can almost seem invisible. However, GxP data stored within spreadsheets must be maintained in accordance with all applicable regulatory rules, especially 21 CFR 11; Electronic Records Electronic Signatures. The FDA is aware of the usefulness of spreadsheets, but expects controls to be in place to ensure that spreadsheets used in GxP processes are compliant with 21 CFR 11 and are validated. As FDA enforcement of 21 CFR 11 increases, uncontrolled spreadsheets represent an area of increased regulatory concern.
