Regulatory intelligence

Sound management of regulatory compliance requirements; a good practice to adopt which can prove to be a source of savings

Regulatory intelligence has several aspects that at first glance may seem nebulous but are in fact very down to earth or practical.

​

  • What are the regulatory compliance requirements your business faces?

  • Do you know them all well and in detail?

  • Are there any requirements that fall under marketing conventions, norms or standards that you absolutely must meet to continue doing business ?

  • What is your level of compliance ?

  • Are you at risk of receiving a corrective action request , an official notice of license suspension, a financial penalty or worse being sued?

How to take advantage of regulatory intelligence

The previously mentioned situations can be avoided by implementing a strategy based on the principles of regulatory intelligence; that is to say, optimizing compliance with different requirements and establishing a head start that allows your establishments to remain compliant at all times and no longer be reactive when the rules change.

​

  • When did you implemented simple audit observations or even verbal comments from an inspector or auditor when they were not part of an official report?

  • When was the last time you attended a regulatory consultation or industry meeting? What did you get out of it?

  • Did you share the information with the quality team or the production team?

  • What are the main recent and/or anticipated changes in laws, regulations, standards, norms and clients programs , etc. that apply to your business?

  • Have you developed a plan to comply or are you waiting for the regulatory authority or customers to ask you to do so?

  • Do you understand the requirements of the different countries for exports?

  • Do you feel like you are at a disadvantage? If yes, why?

  • Have you assessed how to correct the situation?

  • How much does a non-compliance cost you?

    • In $, in person-time

    • In loss of efficiency

    • In potential impact on your reputation

    • In missed opportunities

    • As a product to be reworked or destroyed
