The primary goal of Night Audit is to maintain operational accuracy and compliance while ensuring smooth transitions between days.

When Does Night Audit Happen?

Traditionally, the Cloudbeds Night Audit runs automatically at 2:00 AM local time. While this timing suits many properties, we understand that some need more flexibility based on unique operational needs, such as early staff departures or late-night restaurant closures. You can set a custom time for the Night Audit to run automatically between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM in 30-minute intervals.
