Night Audit

The end-of-day operational checkpoint that closes the books and rolls the system to the next date.

The night audit is the daily checkpoint where the property closes financial transactions for the operating date, verifies room status, posts room and tax charges, balances cash drawers, and rolls the PMS to the next operating date. Cloud PMSes increasingly automate the audit but the operator typically reviews the closing report each morning. Errors caught in the night audit are easier to correct than errors discovered weeks later.
