What Is USALI and Why Does It Matter?
The Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI) is the gold standard for hotel financial reporting. It ensures consistency across properties, brands, and investors. Without it, rollups lose meaning and benchmarks break down.
The Risks of Non-Standard Budget Submissions
When properties submit budgets in different formats:
- Controllers spend weeks cleaning and reconciling.
- CFOs can’t trust portfolio-level insights.
- Owners and investors lose confidence in the numbers.
How USALI Compliance Strengthens Portfolio Planning
USALI alignment ensures apples-to-apples comparisons across every property. It:
- Speeds up rollups.
- Provides reliable benchmarks.
- Delivers clean, trusted reporting for stakeholders.
