Expense Report Sample

An expense report is a formal document which has a detailed account of the expenditure incurred by an employee/employees during a business trip. The report includes information about the expenses on travel, accommodation, meals, etc.

There are two ways of preparing an expense report.

• In the first method, the Human Resource (HR) manager or the accounts manager of the organization issues an advance to the employee who is scheduled to go on a business trip. When the employee returns, he fills up an expense report form, and attaches receipts of all his expenditure. Depending on the expenditure, the manager either receives the remaining balance or reimburses the amount that the employee has paid from his pocket.
• In the second method, the employee spends his own money on the expenses incurred during the trip. On his return, the receipts of the expenditure are submitted to the accounts manager or the HR manager, who then reimburses the employee.
