What You mean by Night Auditor at Hotel Management and Important of Night Auditor?

Night auditor is not the same in all hotels but in general he is the one who aware and adhere to all accounting policies and procedures and ensure accuracy of guest bills, balance the cashier at the close of shift and resolve any discrepancies in cash float balancing, analyze rate variance report to ensure correct room rates and revenue control, run a credit check report on each shift and report any possible doubtful accounts.

all above make its very important to have a night auditor specially that we have our software management system that we start the new date every morning and before doing that we must be sure that all accounts are ok

In small hotels we don’t hire a night manager and usually we don’t assign a front office supervisor during night shift and the night auditor takes the rule that they do 

I Think that Nigh auditor making important role in the software system and if they are care less to check the room Tariff and food and beverage report and other charges like transportation , telephone etc. This consiquences is a big isssue after night audit . so, we have to do allowance from Total revenue .  In my  openion allowance is not accepted as direct or indirect at hotel. Because Hotel receptionist have to confirm the room before night shift. According to me " Night auditor is a specialised function having check room rate and Booking status and  amendment and cash collection and credit card details and bank cheque and food and beverage revenue and other miscellanious and review at all .then, go to open a new date and create night audit is called known as Night audit report". Night auditor have to ensure this  process  up to date before night audit. 

i beleave that night auditor is a same to check the file at all Hotel and software may be different  and facilities as per Hotel. 

As the name suggests,Night Audit is a sub part of auditing which means conducting audit at night. The word night audit sounds strange to you because it is practiced only in the hotel industry. This phenomenon might create confusion for a person who is not aware of these things and he/she might ask the question, why audit is conducted at night in hotels instead of day time? Now to make things clear and simple, the answer to this question is that day time is the business time for the hotels and their business is not confined to the room booking but all the important operations are in their full flow in the day time. As hotels are busy in the day time for their guest oriented activities so the audit is done at night.Now let's take a look what Night Audit is all about. The night audit is the checking of all the business transactions and accounts books in order to check that all the revenues and expenses are properly posted in their relevant heads. Night auditor is also referred as the in house auditor whose responsibility is to conduct audit and generate reports for the top management in order to portray a clear picture of their business; that is, how much profit is earned, how many expenses are done, the net profit etc. The Night Auditor's job is very tough and complicated and in five or seven star hotels Night Auditor is assigned to tasks like settling of credit cards, which means he/she has to make sure that money is transferred from the guest's account to the hotel account. Arranging reports for the top management to reflect that day's business activities like revenue earned and expenses done. In short it's one of the most responsible positions in hotel management.
