Implementing effective surveillance and reporting strategies to improve CFIA compliance

Virtually all companies understand the need to have and implement an effective surveillance and reporting strategy to CFIA officials. Now, as changes are expected, the imperative is greater. If you do not have a reporting strategy, it is vital that you implement one; if you already have one, you must constantly reassess your plan. Take advantage of this interactive workshop, in which you will learn industry-leading best practices on:

    • The key elements every surveillance and reporting plan should include
    • Implementing your plan effectively
    • How other companies have managed their reporting strategies successfully
    • How to leverage your compliance strategies to protect “the brand”

Gain insight into the most effective surveillance and reporting strategies to improve CFIA compliance.
