Our Audit Managers and Auditors perform and lead audits across the activities that deliver key activities across Research and Development, while mitigating risk, specifically: Research Practices, Patient Safety and Scientific Patient Engagement.

• Deliver meaningful insights to the business, and appropriate context to support action.
