Night Audit is not just the last report of the day. It is the control point where the hotel proves that occupancy, guest balances, payments, deposits, refunds, AR transfers and operating exceptions are still telling the same story.
For hotel owners, the risk is not only a missed posting. The real risk is a closed day with unresolved exposure hidden across front desk notes, payment records, folio adjustments and finance reports.
- Unsettled folios should be visible before the date closes.
- Payments and guest credits should reconcile to the booking or folio they belong to.
- Room status and occupancy should match the operational reality of the property.
- Manager reports should show exceptions, not bury them in raw data.
PREHOOS treats Night Audit as a business-date control process. The close is cleaner because front desk, payments, rooms and finance are connected before the owner reviews the next morning.
