CCTV
audits
The requirement to maintain a comprehensive and functional CCTV system is a condition of many liquor licences.
These conditions often require CCTV coverage of 'all publicly accessible areas' within the premises, which can be challenging to ensure with large venues.
Our consultants provide an independent assessment of your venue's CCTV capability. We provide comprehensive audit reports which may be used as proof of compliance or to guide remediation activity.
It is highly recommended that a CCTV audit be conducted if installing a new system or where there has been a reconfiguration of the venue layout or location of cameras.
Covert audits
Have visibility of the true level of compliance of a liquor licence, with unguarded and unannounced audits.
​
Consider covert audits as part of your pre-purchase due diligence on a venue or liquor licence. In addition to conducting an on-site compliance assessment, our consultants can also engage with local police and regulators to help you understand any underlying compliance risks.
​
Covert audits may also be used as part of the compliance program of large corporate entities or franchises who wish to monitor on-site compliance of dispersed premises.
