Ready or Not, Inspectors Are Coming

Regulatory inspections — planned or unannounced — can catch even well-prepared companies off guard. 

This session breaks down what it actually takes to be ready before inspectors arrive and how to respond effectively once they do.

Stephen Smith (Of Counsel, Beveridge & Diamond) will outline key steps for companies impacted by both planned and unannounced inspections.

This session will cover:

  • Key steps for companies impacted by both planned and unannounced inspections
  • Best practices for reviewing and strengthening compliance programs before an inspection occurs
  • How to respond effectively when inspectors do arrive
  • Current agency enforcement initiatives and priorities
  • Proactive strategies to identify and mitigate compliance risks
