DEA, Your Registration and How to Lose It

Why Should You Attend:

Understanding the DEA "Know Your Customer Policy" is important and the steps suggested in this training will give you a better insight as to what steps should be taken to prevent the illicit use or diversion of any controlled substance and regulated chemical products purchased by a customer.

What the presentation does is that it gives participants a better understanding of how the suggested regulatory compliance should look like in order to identify those customer orders that should be classified as suspicious in nature and what actions they can take to prevent the diversion of their products by their customers.

This training will cover several recommendations to improve the Corporate Due Diligence when distributing Schedules I through V controlled substances and regulated chemicals to their customers and what steps can be taken to detect and prevent the illicit use or diversion of any product sold to a customer. As a firm handling these products, you will get a better understanding of what is required from a DEA registered Manufacturer or Distributor when a customer’s order becomes an order of interest or identified as a suspicious order.
