About This Audit
The Auditor General examined the operations of Pennsylvania’s Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store 5195 from May 28, 2024, to June 16, 2025, to ensure compliance with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s (PLCB) operating procedures. The examination focused on inventory management, financial recordkeeping, and adherence to internal controls, conducted under statutory authority, but not under formal auditing standards. The results indicated general compliance except for four issues: an inventory discrepancy exceeding $200, improper use of coupons with discounts, sales to minors, and excessive cash in registers, which need addressing. These findings, some of which are repeat issues from previous years, indicate areas for improvement to strengthen internal controls and compliance. The report includes recommendations for corrective actions and thanks the management for their cooperation. Further questions can be directed to the Bureau of Liquor Control Audits.
