During a TABC audit, the most common issues identified include discrepancies in inventory records, which may suggest inaccurate reporting of alcohol sales or potential theft. Another frequent issue is improper employee training or failure to maintain training records, especially when it comes to verifying customer IDs and preventing alcohol service to intoxicated individuals or minors. Violations related to selling alcohol outside authorized hours or serving alcohol to unlicensed individuals also commonly surface during audits. The TABC may also identify issues related to failure to follow proper alcohol storage procedures, which could violate health and safety regulations. Another common issue is the business’s failure to comply with local zoning laws, especially if the business operates in an area where alcohol sales are restricted or prohibited. Additionally, the TABC may flag businesses that fail to properly document alcohol promotions or special event permits. In some cases, businesses may also face audit findings related to the accuracy and completeness of sales and financial records. These violations, if discovered, can lead to fines, suspension, or revocation of alcohol licenses. A TABC attorney can help identify these issues before the audit, offering guidance on how to rectify any potential problems and minimize the impact of the audit findings.
