Compliance Audits

Protect your business, your license, and your reputation.

Our compliance audit programs ensure your team is following laws and regulations — every day, in every interaction. From age verification to sales practices, we help you identify and fix compliance gaps before they become costly problems. Every audit is verified through our quality control process.

What We Do

Every compliance audit program includes:

Undercover decoy visits from certified mystery shoppers

Real-time audits of regulated goods sales (alcohol, tobacco, lottery, cannabis)

Detailed reports highlighting compliance risks and required actions

Age verification and screening assessments

Program customization aligned to provincial/state regulations and corporate policies

Choose Your Program Style

No two businesses are alike — so we offer flexible mystery shopping models to fit your goals, budget, and pace.

Decoy Shopper Audits

Our mystery shoppers attempt regulated purchases under the appearance of being underage to test employee ID practices and adherence to law.

Compliance Spot Checks

Quick, targeted visits focused on verifying employee compliance with core regulations and SOPs.

Ongoing Compliance Programs

Monthly or quarterly programs that build a reliable record of performance, detect trends, and support staff accountability.

Don’t let one misstep put your business at risk.
