Compliance advisory & inspection readiness
We support companies operating in regulated markets by providing practical, advisory guidance to strengthen compliance programs and prepare for regulatory interactions with confidence.
Our approach is preventive and strategic. We help organizations understand regulatory expectations, assess their readiness, and improve internal processes before inspections, reviews, or assessments occur.
Our advisory services include:
U.S. FDA Food Safety Plan advisory support: Guidance on the development, review, and enhancement of Food Safety Plans aligned with FSMA preventive controls requirements
U.S. FDA pre-inspection readiness support: Advisory assistance to help facilities prepare for FDA inspections, including documentation readiness and recommendations on common inspection focus areas
FDA facility registration advisory assistance: Support with FDA facility registration requirements, updates, and ongoing compliance obligations
U.S. FDA Seafood HACCP advisory services: Advisory review of Seafood HACCP plans, hazard analyses, and preventive control frameworks
USDA HACCP advisory services: Consultative support for HACCP programs applicable to USDA-regulated products and facilities
Label review and regulatory advisory services: Advisory review of labels to support alignment with applicable U.S. and international regulatory requirements
U.S. Customs pre-audit compliance advisory: Preparatory support to help importers assess customs compliance frameworks, documentation practices, and internal controls in advance of potential customs reviews
All services are provided in an advisory and preparatory capacity.
We do not conduct audits, perform inspections, or act on behalf of regulatory authorities.
Regulatory Training
Regulatory training can improve regulatory compliance levels thereby impacting a company’s profitability, customer retention, reputation with government agencies, and public image. Many import-export contracts have specific clauses requiring regulatory compliance.
The challenges of compliance training are the following:
It needs to be practical for audit performance and for upper management buy-in to increase.
Regulatory material can be boring for employees.
Regulations and agency interpretations change in time.
Martin McNeese is a guest instructor at Michigan State University and a past Toastmaster public speaker, so he is able to make compliance training interesting and motivate your staff to turn theory into productive practice.
Manufacturer’s representative
Strategic commercial support to help manufacturers expand into new markets through introductions, relationship development, and commercial negotiations.
