WHAT WE DO
Implementing a track and trace system that integrates with the state system (METRC) is often the first step in ensuring chain of custody. We assist with everything from defining business requirements and system selection, to batch record review and data migration.
Sample Work Products:
- System Requirements
- Data Migration
- Standard Operating Procedures
- Manual Data Collection Forms
- METRC System Admin Designee Program
We employ the most comprehensive audit against both state and local regulations, and results in a list of infractions that would arise in an official site inspection. Practice makes perfect, and that goes triple when it comes to regulatory readiness. A key to reducing the risk of citations or license revocation is creating a culture of compliance.
Sample Work Products:
- Onsite Audits
- Corrective Actions List
- Observations Report
- OSHA Compliance Assessment
Our approach ensures that the root cause of all infractions are identified and action items prioritized. Areas of focus include SOPs, labeling, packaging, security, training, storage, transport, chain of custody, and waste disposal. The corrective action plan ensures accountability across your entity.
Sample Work Products:
- Corrective Action Plans
- Risk Assessments
- Standard Operating Procedures
- Security Plans
- Operations Manual
The working list of corrective actions can seem insurmountable to a team that is already overwhelmed. This list serves as the foundation for projects. We are project managers by trade and training, and we put the structure in place to minimize distraction while ensuring all compliance gaps are addressed in a timely manner.
Sample Work Products:
- Project Plans
- Task Lists
- Project Meeting Facilitation and Notes
- Status Reports
- Process Improvements
- Document Control Repository
Every team member should have a detailed job description that maps to a specific training plan. Compliance isn’t a one-time exercise rather it takes discipline and dedication to planning, developing and executing a training plan. Let us know how we can help.
Sample Work Products:
- Training Plans
- On-boarding Processes
- Training Program Development & Delivery
- Employee Tracking Systems
- Annual Reviews
- Calendaring Systems

THIRD PARTY AUDITS
Licensees should have a TPA conducted at least once per year (more in the early years). Regulators love to see you being proactive. And entities are well advised to insist partners up and down the chain of custody prove compliance on a regular basis. It is all part of the compliance ecosystem we all want to create.
A growing number landlords, insurance underwriters, investors and financial institutions are also beginning to realize the importance of the validation regular audits offer.
