We will discuss the importance of applying industry best practices when validating laboratory systems that are regulated by FDA.  Any “GxP” system (i.e., the system "touches" product during the laboratory testing or process) must be validated in accordance with FDA guidelines for computerized systems and documented accordingly.
This FDA Compliance course will describe the best practices for conducting validation work, including "who" should be responsible for such tasks and "how" the documentation should be accomplished.  FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how this is to be done.
In addition, we will touch on elements of electronic records and electronic signatures (ER/ES, or FDA 21 CFR Part 11).  Specific criteria must be met in order to consider such a signature as valid in the eyes of FDA regulators.

Managers who coach their people become known as good managers to work for, developers of talent, and achievers of business results. They also become better leaders in the process.”  -Jack Welch, Former CEO General Electric
Are your people working harder yet performance is still below par?  When a leader spends too little time managing performance, here’s what happens.  Small sparks turn into creeping flames that, if not doused, quickly grow into raging fires. Work starts slipping through the cracks. Resources are squandered. Deadlines are missed. You’re constantly playing catch up.
Good managers regularly keep each member of their group or team informed about his or her work performance. If this is not done then you probably are going to have problems of employee frustration and low morale, customer complaints or dissatisfaction and unfortunately, more of your time fixing problems rather than getting your work done.

Overview
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is the single most important piece of Federal legislation affecting consumer debt collection. Abide by it and you’re fine. Violate it and the fines can be severe. 
This webinar will describe the Act in general. You will learn what you can (and cannot) say and do with regard to consumer debt collection guidelines. In addition, we will discuss tools you can use to more quickly collect on consumer debt…and without going to court in many instances. 
Finally, we will discuss the advantages (and disadvantages) of getting judgments, forgiving debt, and how to handle being sued by a debtor for allegedly violating the law.
Why Should You Attend
Consumer debt collector laws are among the most highly-regulated arenas you will ever encounter within the accounting profession. Even though you are legitimately trying to recover money owed to your firm, it can often feel like the debtor has more rights than you do.
Areas Covered in this Webinar
The goal of this webinar is to minimize uncertainty regarding what you are allowed (and not allowed) to say and do. We’ll cover the three major areas of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act that get even veteran collectors in trouble: Harassment, Unfair Practices, and Illegal 3rd Party Disclosure. 
In addition, we’ll examine in detail the different types of bankruptcy law, and how to protect your interests if a debtor includes your firm in a bankruptcy proceeding. We’ll also discuss tools you can use to recover more money quickly without necessarily having to go to court. The pro’s and con’s of securing judgments and forgiving debt will be touched upon, as well as how to handle getting sued by a debtor for allegedly violating statute. 
Real-world case studies will be presented that demonstrate just how complex the collections world can be. If you extend credit to consumers, this is a webinar you can’t afford to miss.

Overview
The US FDA expects that as part of a product development Design Control Program risk management will be conducted.
FDA recommends using ISO 14971 as a guide and has accepted it as a recognized standard.
One of the techniques described in ISO 14971 is Hazard Analysis. This is the most powerful of the risk management techniques because it considers risks in normal operation as well as fault conditions. FMEA and FTA consider only fault conditions and are more suited as reliability tools than as product safety tools.
In this ISO 14971 risk management training we will explain in detail the process of conducting a hazard analysis. The confusing terms “hazard”, hazardous situation”, “harm”, “causative event”, “ALARP”, “risk index”, “residual risk” will be explained. We will go step by step through a template for hazard analysis so that the process is clear. Examples of hazards and hazardous situations will be discussed. Also, how to deal with residual risk will be discussed. We will go step by step through a typical hazard analysis.
We will explain how to integrate Human Factors studies into the Hazard Analysis and how to integrate Hazard Analysis into the design program.

Overview
The only constant today is change…and with regards to document retention policy and privacy, laws, regulations are changing all of the time. You need to be diligent to know how, and if, your current policy is affected by these changes. 
Retention and management of records is more complicated than just deciding what to keep and for how long. In what form should records be kept? Should we keep more than what the regulations require? If so, what? What about possible litigation needs? Examiner expectations must be met, of course, but other parties, such as law enforcement, auditors, and those representing your employees may require access to information, as well.
Why Should You Attend
To manage an effective program in a cost-effective manner, compliance professionals must rely on information from a broad range of resources within the organization. Records management is the point of convergence of these resources, which is why effective and reliable records management training must be part of your Compliance Program.

Specific tips for business records retention practices that both strengthen your process and standardize your records management program

Overview
You already know if the violence erupts in your workplace the consequences can be unpredictable, and can be severe. These include, but are not limited to, injuries or death of employees, customers, and/or visitors from workplace violence, in lawsuits, property damage, increased insurance premiums, OSHA enforcement actions, increases employee turnover and reduced community trust.
In most workplaces where risk factors can be identified, the risk of assault can be prevented or minimized if employers know and take appropriate precautions.
One of the best protections employers can offer their workers is to establish a written policy toward workplace violence, covering all workers, patients, clients, visitors, contractors, and anyone else who may come in contact with company personnel.  A low-cost workplace violence prevention program, combined with engineering controls, administrative controls and training can reduce the incidence of workplace violence in both private sector and government workplaces.
Why Should You Attend
This anti harassment training offers employers low- and no-cost ideas and resources for starting a workplace violence prevention and mitigation program.
Even though your organization may not be at high risk for violence, because the consequences can be devastating, protecting your team is just good business.   And while nobody disputes the importance or preventing workplace violence, all too often it is not considered urgent.  Except after the fact, when it is too late.
Every dollar spent on one thing is a dollar you don’t have to spend on something else.  Will you have a workplace violence incident next month?  Probably not.  But for sure there’ll be payroll, insurance, rent, etc. that must be covered.   Pay them or go out of business.  But crossing your fingers and hoping for the best is not going to prevent or mitigate violence.
Areas Covered in this Webinar
This webinar will address the key elements of violence management: prevention, mitigation, and response.
Free or low cost ways to conduct risk analysis, secure the business premises, create polices, conduct safety training and keep your facilities and people safe from violence will be covered.
Resources available from OSHA, NIOSH, the FBI and other organizations will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this workplace violence and harassment training, you will be able to  describe, outline and/or discuss-
·         The Scope, Impact and Typology of  Workplace Violence
·         Workplace Violence Plans, Policies and Procedures

Overview
Investigators must obtain information to investigate.  Investigative information is gleaned from a variety of sources, documents, computers, cell phones, trace evidence, and people.   As of today, and for the foreseeable future, it is people who commit violations, witness violations, and have information concerning violations you are investigating, whether it is a crime of a violation of company policy.  It is important to understand that not everybody you talk to is a suspect.  When preparing a Case Plan, careful attention must be given to the Interview Strategy, including who to interview and in what order the interviews should take place.  It is equally important to understand why certain individual need to be interviewed and what questions need to be asked to achieve your interview objective. In addition, the interview method (i.e. recorded, formal, informal,) and the location of the interviews must be determined.
Why Should You Attend
Interviewing is not a peripheral task that is undertaken in the wake of conducting an investigation. Interviewing is a critical component of an investigation. The successful conclusion of the matter you are investigating often rests with the quality of your interviews. Without a doubt the best investigators are the ones with the best interview skills, which includes preparing and developing a well thought out Interview Strategy.
This interview training for employers will provide with the tools to develop an Interview Strategy as part of a Case Plan.  The webinar will discuss the various categories of interviewees that investigators will need to talk to in typical investigations. Furthermore, the webinar will discuss the importance of understanding why an interviewee needs to be interviewed and how to develop a pertinent topic/questions list tailored to each interviewee to assist in reaching the interview objective. In addition, the webinar will discuss interview best practices as it relates to room setting, note taking, recording, and the number of interviewers.
Also, the webinar will provide insight as to what motivates an interviewee to be less than candid and what motivates an interviewee to be truthful. (It’s not only suspects who will lie and be deceptive.)
Areas Covered in this Webinar
This webinar will cover the following areas.
Who: The different categories of interviewees when conducting an investigation (not everybody is a suspect)
Why: The importance of knowing “why” you want to interview a particular individual.  (It seems simple, but you would be surprised that this important factor is often overlooked)
What: The importance of having an Interview Objective when preparing for each interview (interviews can have multiple objectives).
When: How to strategically determine the order of interviewees when initiating an investigation.
Where:  To determine if the interview should be formal or informal. Whether the interview is in a controlled setting on your turf, or on the interviewee’s turf, or at a neutral location.
How: to determine if the interview is conducted by telephone, in person, with more than one interviewer, and whether or not the interview should be recorded.
In addition, you will learn the critical importance of preparing for an interview, and how to prepare.
How to create an Effective Topic/Question List in preparation for an interview.
