Night Auditor

-

-The night auditor typically handles both the duties of the front desk agent and accounting duties.
-The auditor accounts for the day's business and remains available to serve the overnight needs of customers. How much time is spent between these two roles depends on the size of the establishment. -Larger lodging facilities may have multiple nighttime employees handling accounting and the front desk, while smaller facilities may rely solely on the night auditor to take care of the business overnight.

Accounting Duties
-The main focus of a night auditor is the guest ledger, which is the collection of accounts for all currently registered guests of the lodging establishment. The night auditor ensures the accuracy of information on the guest ledger, makes sure all guests have checked out at the appropriate time and gathers all paperwork necessary to successfully complete the audit. Hotels and motels often have computerized management systems to aid the auditor in accounting for guests and transactions.
