Regulatory Submissions, Information, and Document Management Forum

The acquisition of one large organization by another can bring unique challenges when both come with their own mature fully compliant regulatory process documentation. This session led by Rich Fredericks, Head of Regulatory Operations and Technology, will touch on many of the steps involved leading up to and during an acquisition from a RIM System Administrator perspective as well as hear from a sponsor with a rich history in the process. The session will cover how a RIM team can ‘future ready’ their system and process to ensure any future acquisition/merger activities run as simple as possible. Often processes are common to both organizations, but there are always wild cards which are discovered and must be addressed. Betsy Fallen, Regulatory Consultant, will share details of the project planning and execution and how the wild cards were managed. Best Practices and considerations which may apply to mergers as well as any large-scale documentation renovation will be shared.
