About This Audit
The examination report reviewed Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store 2511 in Erie County, under the PLCB, covering operations from July 8, 2024, to July 17, 2025. Conducted by the Department of the Auditor General, the review checked compliance with PLCB procedures, including inventory management, financial reporting, and internal controls. The report found the store generally complied with PLCB procedures except for issues with tax-exempt sales documentation, a repeat issue from a prior examination. Discrepancies in tax-exempt sales documents suggest a need for improved training and process adherence. Store management acknowledged the findings and committed to reviewing and improving tax-exempt sales processing. While other prior issues, like change fund management, were resolved, the tax-exempt documentation issue remains. Verification of compliance will occur in a subsequent examination.
