Produktbeschreibung

Internal control s main objective is ensuring successful safeguarding of assets. Its effective implementation involves setting goals and performance standards, monitoring and measuring performance to spot likely deviations from preset standards, and initiating due corrective actions to set performance back to standards. This book explains how internal control procedures can be applied to safeguard hotels current assets; cash disbursements incurred for labor and purchasing, cash receipts obtained from the food and beverage and the front office departments, and inventory. The field study and subsequent statistical analyses revealed that the level of application of internal control, managers awareness of its importance, and the effect of obstacles were moderate. A significant relationship was found between managers awareness of internal control procedures importance, the seriousness of obstacles, some hotels characteristics; and the application of internal control procedures, particularly in the food and beverage department. It was also detected that five-star and chain-managed hotels apply internal control more effectively than four-star and independent hotels, respectively.
