About This Audit
An examination report conducted by the Department of the Auditor General evaluated the operations of Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store 5163 in Philadelphia for the period from June 25, 2024, to June 24, 2025. The assessment checked compliance with Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) procedures through various tests, including inventory checks, financial reconciliations, and adherence to control measures. The examination identified five significant findings: repeated inventory discrepancies exceeding $200, improper documentation for tax-exempt sales, improper use of instant redeemable coupons with discounts, sales prevention to minors, and excessive cash in register drawers. These were areas of non-compliance, and their recurrence highlighted deficiencies in internal controls. Recommendations were made to address these issues, including monitoring inventory and ensuring more stringent adherence to PLCB procedures to prevent further discrepancies. Management acknowledged the findings, and the report concludes with a call for implementing corrective actions. This is an automated summary.
