Which of the following records is commonly required to be kept by licensees for compliance?

• A. Supplier records.
• B. Personal diaries.
• C. Marketing campaigns.
• D. Customer feedback surveys.

Answer: (A)

Licensees must keep a documented trail of their product purchases to prove origins and maintain accountability. Supplier records show who the supplier is, their license information, and the details of each transaction—invoices or purchase orders, delivery receipts, dates, quantities, prices, and lot or bottle numbers. This creates a verifiable chain of custody that regulators can review during audits, helps with accurate inventory and tax reporting, and supports recalls or investigations if needed. Other types of records—personal diaries, marketing campaigns, or customer feedback surveys—don’t serve as the standard regulator-required trail for proving lawful procurement and traceability.
