The duration of a TABC audit can vary depending on the complexity of the business and the scope of the audit itself. For smaller businesses with straightforward records and operations, an audit may take just a few days to complete. However, for larger businesses or those with more complex operations, the audit could take weeks or even months, especially if the auditors need to review detailed records, conduct interviews, or investigate potential violations. Businesses should be prepared for the possibility of an extended audit, and it is important to remain cooperative and provide auditors with the necessary documentation promptly to avoid delays. The TABC attorney will work closely with the business during this process to ensure that the audit progresses smoothly and to address any questions or concerns that arise. It is essential that the business continues operating as usual during the audit, so long as no major violations are identified. If violations are found, the TABC attorney will assist in minimizing any negative consequences and expedite the resolution process. Regardless of the timeline, businesses should take all audits seriously, as they can significantly impact their ability to continue selling alcohol.
