Community Relations and Charitable Donations Authority
Establishes who may approve donation and sponsorship requests, at what value, and how community giving stays aligned with brand standards and budget.
Duty of Care for Traveling Executives
Governs how HIG tracks, supports, and protects executives and department heads traveling on company business, including high-risk destinations.
Operational Policy Exception Authorization
Governs how executives approve one-time exceptions to standing operational policy — comps, rate deviations, cancellation waivers — outside routine SOP waivers.
Delegation of Authority During Executive Absence
Defines how GM and senior executive authority formally transfers to a named acting leader during planned or unplanned absence, distinct from long-term succession planning.
Executive Signature and Approval Authority Register
Maintains the single authoritative record of who may sign checks, contracts, and approvals on behalf of the property, at what dollar thresholds.
Leadership Floor Rounds and Engagement Walk Program
Establishes a structured rounding program for executives and department heads to be visibly present with employees and guests, distinct from the physical property-condition walk.
Daily revenue reconciliation
Reconcile every revenue stream to source documents each morning so yesterday's numbers are proven, not assumed, before the day moves on.
Cash handling
Standardize how cash is counted, moved, and investigated so every dollar has two witnesses and every variance has a same-day explanation.
Cash bank issuance and reconciliation
Control the issuance, custody, and return of house cash banks so accountability for every float is individual, documented, and continuously verifiable.
Deposit preparation
Prepare, verify, and seal daily bank deposits under dual custody so counted cash matches recorded cash from drop safe to bank slip.
Armored-car pickup
Transfer sealed deposits to the armored courier under verified identity and dual custody so chain of custody never breaks between safe and bank.
Chargeback response
Respond to every card chargeback with complete evidence inside the network deadline while treating the guest behind the dispute with respect.
Accounts receivable
Bill accurately, follow up on schedule, and age receivables honestly so credit extended to clients converts to cash without damaging relationships.
City-ledger management
Control transfers into the city ledger and reconcile its balance continuously so nothing parked there is forgotten, unearned, or unauthorized.
Invoice approval
Approve invoices only through documented, one-up authorization so no payment leaves the property without independent review of validity and coding.
Expense coding
Code expenses accurately and review expense reports rigorously so the general ledger tells the truth and reimbursements meet policy.
Accrual Preparation
Defines how the finance team identifies, calculates, and records accrual journal entries at month-end to ensure expenses are recognized in the correct period.
Month-end closing
Close each month against a published checklist with owners and deadlines so financial statements are complete, accurate, and on time.
Petty cash
Operate petty cash as a fixed imprest fund with one custodian, voucher-backed disbursements, and surprise counts that always prove out.
Complimentary room and service reporting
Authorize, document, and report every complimentary room and service so comps remain a deliberate investment rather than an invisible leak.
