About This Audit
The Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store 4501 in East Stroudsburg was examined for the period of September 23, 2024, to October 7, 2025, to ensure compliance with internal procedures. The examination covered inventory counts, deposits, internal controls, and sales procedures. While the store generally complied with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s (PLCB) operating procedures, two issues were identified concerning tax-exempt sales. First, improper documentation was noted; six invoices lacked required signatures and dates, potentially leading to unauthorized tax exemptions. Second, a licensee was wrongly classified, granting an improper sales tax exemption, resulting in lost tax revenue. The store management is advised to enforce correct procedures and ensure accurate classifications within their point-of-sale system. Store management has agreed to address these issues by reviewing procedures with staff and taking corrective measures. This is an automated summary.
