Meanwhile, a state audit finds problems with how DABS handles liquor makers who sell their product on-site
The state’s auditor, John Dougall, and financial audit director Bertha Liu presented their office’s annual audit of DABS. Dougall said “there are lots of great things the agency is doing,” but the report highlighted areas where improvement was needed. Auditors cited an example of a wine bottle that costs consumers $29.76. With most package stores, the state would receive $13.93 of that retail price as the markup. With the Type 5 package stores, DABS receives only $4.73 of the markup, and the store pockets the other $9.20.
On the other hand, the audit reported, DABS has been charging a 5% administrative fee to the Type 5 package agencies — a fee mentioned nowhere in state law. On that one wine bottle, that fee amounted to $1.49 of the retail price. In the 12 months ending in June 2022, DABS collected $829,060 from that administrative fee.Also, the auditors said, DABS isn’t collecting earmarks from Type 5 package agencies as promptly as from other package stores.
Clason said that DABS staff “are throwing everything at this, to ensure the DABS meets its statutory obligations.”
