DEA Form 106 is used to report what?

The main concept is that Form 106 is the official DEA report used when controlled substances are stolen or lost. It captures details of what was taken or missing, when and where the incident occurred, quantities and estimated value, and the actions taken to secure the remaining inventory. This is the proper channel because theft or loss triggers regulatory reporting requirements to the DEA and, in many cases, local law enforcement. It is not used for routine inventory discrepancies, which are typically handled as internal records or audits, nor for applying for a license (that uses different forms), nor for reporting patient complaints. If theft or loss is discovered, report it promptly—usually within one business day—and file the form with the DEA, forwarding copies to local authorities and the state board as required.
