Audit Division

The ABC Commission’s Audit Division through financial and inventory audits ensures that ABC permit holders comply with the ABC laws and rules. ABC permittees are required to maintain certain qualifications that are monitored through required reports and verified by routine visits to the business location. All ABC businesses are subject to being audited, however, those that possess mixed beverage permits receive the most scrutiny.

The ABC Commission rules require all mixed beverage permittees to maintain full and accurate monthly records of their finances and to submit reports on their financial and inventory on a schedule set by the Audit Division. In addition, the ABC statutes require businesses to meet certain criteria by definition. For example, Mixed Beverage Restaurants shall have gross receipts from food sales of not less than thirty percent (30%) of the business’s total gross receipts. Once the application requirements are met and a retail ABC permit is issued, an ABC auditor will contact the location to discuss the ABC regulations.
