How often must electronic CII certification be audited?

The auditing of electronic CII (Schedule II controlled substances) certification must occur either whenever the system undergoes alterations or every two years. This requirement ensures that the system remains compliant with regulatory standards and that the integrity of the data is maintained.

Regular audits help to identify any discrepancies or potential issues that may arise due to system changes, which could impact the accuracy of controlled substance tracking. Additionally, the two-year interval allows for a systematic review of the processes and documentation, ensuring ongoing adherence to legal requirements. This dual approach of auditing provides a comprehensive framework for maintaining both accountability and compliance in the management of controlled substances.
