This episode is a true case study of a cannabis operator that looked “buttoned up” on paper—SOPs, cameras, and compliance staff—until regulators showed up. What began as a routine, anonymous mold complaint escalated when inspectors found predated sanitation logs and started pulling supporting records. The deeper they looked, the more control gaps surfaced: no documented monthly inventory counts, finished product left unsecured, and security footage that wasn’t being reviewed—until it revealed repeated employee theft. Naomi Granger explains the red flags and the checkpoints accountants can use to prevent enforcement action.
