Frequently asked questions

Can the role access guest payment data?

Only to the extent needed through controlled systems and the hotel's payment-security procedure.

Who approves a revenue write-off?

An authorised manager independent of preparation should approve it under the finance controls.

Can a Hotel Finance Officer create and pay the same supplier?

The employer should separate supplier setup, invoice processing and payment approval wherever its control framework requires, with exceptions independently reviewed.

Who may correct a room-rate override found during reconciliation?

The officer should preserve the original transaction and supporting evidence and use the authorised adjustment and approval process rather than overwrite the audit trail.

How should unexplained cash differences be handled?

Recount and reconcile against till, safe and banking records, document facts and escalate under the investigation procedure without assuming personal liability or misconduct.

May the role access full card numbers or security codes?

Access should be limited to the controlled payment systems and information genuinely required, following the hotel's payment-security rules and never retaining prohibited data.

Can month-end overtime be included in the working pattern?

The contract can reflect predictable deadline peaks, but should state authorisation, recording, pay or time-off treatment and adequate rest and holiday cover.

What should support a hotel revenue journal?

Retain the date, outlet or ledger, source report, explanation, accounts, value, preparer, independent approval and link to any variance or correction evidence.
