GXP Engaged Auditing Services Relaunched as Independent QM Consultancy and QA and Auditing Service Company

Munich, Germany, April 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- GXP Engaged Auditing Services, the global QM Consultancy and Audit Services company, with headquarters in Munich, Germany, has been created as a management buy-out company of the auditing and consultancy service brand of the ISO 9001 certified Harrison Clinical Research Group. GXP Engaged Auditing Services will provide assistance for the industry which requires full independence from other service providers involved in clinical research. The QM team involved in the execution of GXP Engaged Auditing Services contracts has provided this type of service for companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, nutrition and related industries, since 2003.

The significant increase of auditing business, the extension of trial specific QM support towards more ongoing compliance oversight, and the involvement of GXP-Engaged Auditing Services in evaluation and development of QM system support of sponsors require adequate resources and independence from other service providers. With the management buy-out strategy these objectives were achieved.

· Clinical Research Organisations (CROs)
· Any company from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, nutrition or related areas with QM support requirements for clinical trials or company systems and procedures
· Public companies
· Regulatory or QM service providers who need resources in this field

The most critical deliverable of the performance of GXP Engaged Auditing Services is the quality and experience of its network of QM professionals and the very specific experience they have, located in the geographical area of the auditee and/or client. Great care is taken in the selection of our contract staff, with documented tools and processes used to ensure high standards.

Core Services:

· Revising and/or setting up and implementing QM systems in client companies, including writing or support with writing SOPs
· Independent full or partial Quality Management or Quality Assurance coverage of client companies who need additional resources in QM/QA
· Definition and/or execution of Quality Management and Auditing plans for clinical trials conducted by companies who need or wish to have a strong local oversight of their clinical trials in participating countries
