Ensuring Data Accuracy & Compliance in Regulated Environments

Excel spreadsheets are widely used for data analysis, calculations, and reporting in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. However, without proper validation, spreadsheets can pose risks related to data integrity, formula errors, unauthorized modifications, and regulatory non-compliance. Spreadsheet validation ensures accuracy, reliability, and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GxP guidelines.
