PX runs two audits. They answer different questions, produce different kinds of results, and you reach them in different places: Neither audit modifies your PMS. Both are read-only: PX audits the data your PMS produces.

Run a Financial Audit

Pick a date range, choose a listing, click Generate.

Accounting Audit

Ledger and guest-money integrity, and how to clear issues.

Month-end close

Run both audits over one month and review them together.

Understanding findings

Severity, expected vs actual, config source, reasoning.

​
Which one do you want?

Reach for the Financial Audit when you have a question about amounts on bookings: a tax that looks wrong, a commission that does not match the agreement, a specific booking you want to investigate. You control the exact window, so it is the right tool for a narrow look at recent history or a single property. Reach for the Accounting Audit when you are closing a period and need the books to hold up: payments that never landed, ledger entries that do not balance, cancellations that left money stranded. It is scoped to a month because that is the unit a close is measured in. Most operators end up using Month-End Close, which runs both over the same month and shows the combined exposure in one place. You do not have to wait for month end to use it - it runs on demand, any day of the month, for any month you pick.

​
When to run an audit

  • Period close - use Month-End Close for the month you are closing. It covers both audits at once.
  • Owner statement prep - run before sending statements to catch issues that affect payouts.
  • After a configuration change - changed a tax rate or commission percent? Run a Financial Audit over the affected period to verify the new rules are applied.
  • Onboarding a new owner or property - audit recent history to validate the new business model.
  • Investigation - when a specific booking looks wrong, run a Financial Audit over a narrow window with a listing filter.

​
What the Financial Audit returns

A successful run returns three layers:

​
Summary

  • Reservations Audited - total bookings in scope.
  • Issues Found - reservations with at least one finding.
  • Verdict - one of CLEAN, UNDERPAID, OVERPAID. The verdict reflects the net financial direction.

​
Per-reservation results

A table with one row per reservation:
  • Confirmation code (linked to the PMS where applicable).
  • Listing, guest, channel, status.
  • Number of findings.
  • Net discrepancy (positive when you under-collected, negative when you over-collected).
Click a row to expand it. The expansion shows the line items on the booking and the findings, each with severity, expected, actual, difference, source, and reasoning.

​
Constraints

These apply to the Financial Audit. Month-End Close takes a month instead of a range, so it is not affected.
  • The audit window cannot exceed 62 days. For longer ranges, run multiple audits back to back.
  • The Generate button is disabled when the range exceeds 62 days, the start date is after the end date, or you have not connected a PMS yet.

​
How long does an audit take?

It depends on how many reservations are in the window. As a rough guide, PX checks about 80 reservations per minute, so:
  • A small portfolio over a month: usually under a minute or two.
  • A large portfolio over the full 62-day window: a few minutes, sometimes up to ten on the busiest accounts.
While a run is in progress, leave the tab open. You can keep working elsewhere on your computer; just don’t close the browser or navigate this tab to another PX page. An elapsed-time card shows progress, and your results appear on the same page when it finishes.
