The Audit of Professional Declarations audits pharmacy professionals’ compliance with the professional declarations made at the time of initial registration or registration renewal.

The registrar, Competence Committee, or delegate of Council may order a directed audit, and any pharmacy professional’s file can be chosen for review during a random selection. Although unlikely, the same pharmacy professional’s files could be randomly selected for audit in consecutive years.
