Survey of Text
The level of student success in reading financial statements is directly related to their understanding of the accounting system used in the lodging industry. To achieve this competence, more than just a chart of accounts is required. This text presents, in four chapters, an analysis of the accounts in a logically arranged topical sequence:
1: Hotel Revenue Accounting
2: Hotel Expense Accounting
3: Property and Equipment Accounting
4: Other Noncurrent Assets Accounting
The largest single expense with complex governmental regulations is labor. No other text offers a comprehensive payroll chapter. The coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Payroll Accounting, Tipped Employees, and Tip Regulation are presented in Chapter 5: Hospitality Payroll Accounting.
The reading and analyzing of financial statements, departmental and corporate, is a critical part of any manager’s responsibilities. These financial statements are presented in the following 7 chapters:
6: Hotel Departmental Statements
7: Hotel Income Statement
8: Ratio Analysis of the Income Statement
9: Hotel Balance Sheets
10: Ratio Analysis of the Balance Sheet
11: Statement of Cash Flows
12: Interim and Annual Reports
The knowledge and procedures to develop budgets, measure performance, and determine causes of variances are presented in the following three chapters:
13: Budgeting Expenses
14: Forecasting Sale
15: Budgetary Reporting and Analysis
Chapter 16 Financial Decision Making realizes that every manager must make effective financial decisions on issues such as:
· Closing for the off-season
· Acquiring a business
· Franchising
· Leasing realty, vehicles, or equipment.
Chapter 17 Cash Management and Planning is a comprehensive chapter that covers more than just cash management procedures; topics such as cash float, lockbox systems, zero balance accounts, and sweep accounts are discussed. Unlike the usual cash management chapter, two topics that every executive should be familiar with are presented; namely EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.
Chapter 18 Casino Accounting is a comprehensive chapter providing the student with extensive knowledge of critical topics for success. Today’s hospitality student should have a knowledge of casinos; a rapidly growing industry with numerous professional job opportunities.

Preface
Premier hospitality companies want hospitality candidates that know the uniform system of accounts and the application of financial management principles in addition to the usual specialty courses in purchasing, menu planning, et al. A hospitality manager or executive is expected to be profit results oriented with exceptional financial decision making skills. Accounting for Hospitality Managers provides the knowledge and tools for an aspiring student or professional to become a successful executive in the Hospitality industry.
Teachers require an up-to-date, authoritative text with relevant supplementary materials. Students deserve a text that is easy to read, meaningful, and useful in the real world of hospitality. As an author of hospitality accounting and managerial texts, my customer market is more than teachers and students; it includes the hospitality employer who is an integral part of the professional cycle. My obligation as an author is to provide a product to academia that will develop a job candidate satisfactory to the hospitality employment market. Accounting for Hospitality Managers is a pragmatic hospitality managerial accounting text based on industry prerequisites.
Accounting for Hospitality Managers continues to address the needs of the hospitality industry and academia by using an organized writing style that is easily understandable by students, yet sufficiently comprehensive to provide the vocabulary and financial skills required achieving success.
