Report 2012-117: State Athletic Commission: Its Ongoing Administrative Struggles Call Its Future Into Question (Release Date: March 2013)

Recommendation #11 To: Athletic Commission, State

To ensure that it accurately collects revenue, the commission should continue its efforts to ensure that promoters, inspectors, and staff are aware of their responsibilities related to the accurate reporting of box office information and the submission of key documents that substantiate the reported information.

6-Month Agency Response

We provide the promoters a promoter responsibilities worksheet. This worksheet was created in direct collaboration with Chairman Frierson. Additionally, inspectors are provided training as required by law every six months and an office staff member verifies the accuracy of each box office report. The inspectors are given this worksheet along with the promoters to ensure that the requirements are met and enforced.

This sheet was provided to the BSA during our 90 day response. Another can be provided if requested.
