    • Cooking the books.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The front office audit is responsible for balancing all front office accounts, resolving room status discrepancies, and monitoring guest credit limitations. However, ensuring the separation of front office job functions is not a function of the front office audit.

    Explanation
    The front office auditor is responsible for tracking room revenues, preparing a daily summary of front desk credit card activities, and producing operational and managerial reports.

By addressing these discrepancies at the beginning of the audit, the front office can ensure that accurate information is used for the rest of the audit process.
