PURPOSE An expense report documents business-related spending for review, approval, and reimbursement or card reconciliation. WHAT TO INCLUDE Include date, vendor, amount, currency, business purpose, expense category, receipt, attendees if applicable, and any required notes. BEFORE SUBMITTING Check that receipts match the amounts claimed and that each expense has a clear business purpose. AVOID Do not combine unrelated expenses into one unclear line unless the process requires it. BEST PRACTICE Submit expenses soon after they occur so details and receipts do not vanish into the sock drawer of time.
