A TABC attorney can provide invaluable assistance to a business undergoing a TABC audit, helping the business navigate the process and protect its legal interests. One of the first ways an attorney can help is by reviewing the audit notice and assessing the scope of the audit. The attorney will ensure that the business is fully prepared by verifying that all required records are in order, including sales records, employee training logs, inventory reports, and any other documentation requested by the TABC. The attorney can also guide the business in organizing and presenting the records to make the audit process as efficient and straightforward as possible. If the TABC auditor identifies discrepancies or potential violations during the audit, the attorney can assist in addressing these issues by gathering supporting evidence or offering explanations to clarify any misunderstandings. In cases where the business faces violations, the attorney can help negotiate with the TABC to minimize penalties or fines. The attorney will also represent the business in hearings or meetings with the TABC if the audit leads to disciplinary action, such as fines or license suspension. Throughout the audit process, the attorney will ensure that the business’s rights are protected and that the audit is handled professionally to avoid unnecessary complications or penalties. The attorney’s goal is to help the business comply with TABC regulations and resolve any issues that may arise during the audit.
