Background
In 2024, Titan Group conducted comprehensive DEA compliance audits across seventeen Community Veterinary Partners (CVP) hospitals. The objective: to assess adherence to the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 801 et seq.) and its implementing regulations (21 CFR Parts 1301–1307). Findings revealed systemic vulnerabilities in recordkeeping, inventory reconciliation, and procedural oversight—issues that, while not evidencing diversion, represented material non-compliance with DEA requirements. Titan Group was engaged to correct these deficiencies and rebuild CVP’s compliance infrastructure from the ground up.
Challenges Identified
Incomplete or missing controlled-substance records
Missing or unverified DEA Form 222/CSOS documentation
Lack of biennial inventory records and perpetual tracking
Improper storage and access control for Schedule II/III drugs
