Preparing POS exports before auditors arrive
A short checklist so your first sampling week is not spent waiting on IT tickets.
The slowest audits are not the ones with the messiest floors — they are the ones waiting for export rights. If you have booked a hospitality revenue audit, spend a day unlocking files before fieldwork starts.
Ask your POS admin for
- Net sales by outlet and day for the full review period
- Void and comp detail with user ID, timestamp, and reason
- Discount and price-override logs where the system keeps them
- Settlement batch IDs that tie to card acquirer reports
Pair those with finance files
Cash drop sheets, bank deposit slips or portal downloads, and any manual tip-out schedules that adjust what supervisors expect to see in the till.
One nominated contact
Auditors should not chase five inboxes. Nominate a finance or F&B coordinator who can answer access questions the same day. Your sampling calendar will thank you.
