What rights does Amorino have regarding auditing an Amorino franchisee's records?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino, or its designated agent, has the right to audit, examine, and copy a franchisee's books, records, accounts, and business tax returns at any time. This means Amorino can review all financial documents related to the operation of the franchise. Amorino also reserves the right to have an independent audit done on the franchisee's books.

This provision allows Amorino to ensure that franchisees are accurately reporting their financial performance and complying with the terms of the franchise agreement. It is a standard practice in franchising to allow the franchisor audit rights to protect the integrity of the brand and the financial interests of both parties.

For a prospective Amorino franchisee, this means they must maintain accurate and complete financial records and be prepared to provide them to Amorino upon request. Failure to maintain proper records or cooperate with an audit could result in penalties or even termination of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should consult with a financial professional to ensure they understand their obligations and are prepared for potential audits.
