During a TABC audit, auditors typically request a variety of documents to assess the business’s compliance with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. Some of the key documents include sales records, which track all alcohol purchases and sales made by the business. These records help the TABC verify that the business is accurately reporting its alcohol sales and ensuring that alcohol is being sold in compliance with the law. Inventory records are another crucial document, showing the quantities of alcohol on hand, which the auditors will compare to sales data to ensure that there are no discrepancies. Employee training records are also required, as businesses must provide documentation showing that their staff has completed the necessary training programs regarding alcohol service, such as verifying IDs and refusing service to intoxicated individuals. The TABC will also request operational records, including business licenses, permits, and proof of compliance with local zoning laws that regulate alcohol sales in the business’s location. If the business is involved in alcohol promotions or special events, the auditor may ask for documentation related to alcohol advertising or special event permits. Additionally, any financial records that demonstrate the business’s ability to operate legally may be requested. Properly organizing and maintaining these documents ensures that the business can quickly provide the required materials during an audit. A TABC attorney can help the business review these documents in advance to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of penalties or issues during the audit process.
