I work in the pharmacy field, and lately I have been concerned about preparing for audits by organizations such as the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and PBM (Pharmacy Benefit Manager). With stricter regulations and frequent audits, I would like to know how pharmacy policies and protocols stand up to these audits. What are the key points to consider when preparing, and what are the most common things auditors look for? Are there any general guidelines or best practices that can help pharmacies get through an audit smoothly? Maybe someone has already had a similar experience - how did you prepare and what process changes were most important? I would appreciate any advice or links to useful resources!

Thank you for such valuable advice! The article was incredibly useful, I found answers to all my questions in it. Now I know in which direction to move.
