Common Questions

What Florida hospitality operators ask about audits.

Why do resort audits keep coming back to ASC 606?

The revenue recognition standard reaches further into hospitality than many operators expect. Franchise fees, management contracts, loyalty programs, and resort-fee arrangements all require analysis of performance obligations and timing, and they are recurring focus areas in resort and hotel audits.

How are tourist development taxes treated in an audit?

Tourist development, or bed, taxes are collected on behalf of the county and remitted, so they are tested as liabilities and remittances rather than as revenue. Auditors confirm that collections, returns, and remittances reconcile and that any exposure is properly disclosed.

We operate multiple properties — how does that affect the audit?

Multi-property operators face consolidation, intercompany, and brand-standard reporting questions. The audit addresses how properties roll up, how management and owner entities interact, and whether brand or franchise reporting requirements are met.
