Duties of the front office (night) auditor include

• A. Running back up reports
• B. Scheduling housekeeping
• C. Marketing promotions
• D. Preparing meals

Answer: (A)

Night auditors focus on closing out the day’s financial activity and producing the reports that show how the hotel performed. Running backup reports is central because these reports capture the day’s transactions, reflect occupancy and revenue, and allow the auditor to balance guest ledgers with the house accounts. This nightly review ensures the books reconcile before morning staff arrive and provides management with a clear view of daily performance. Scheduling housekeeping, marketing promotions, and preparing meals fall outside the front office night auditor role, leaving running backup reports as the task that fits best.
