What a good expense report records

For each expense: the date, who you paid, what it was for, the business purpose, how you paid and whether a receipt is attached. The business purpose is what makes an expense defensible later, so write it at the time.

Subtract any cash advance already given to the employee; the last line is what the business owes them. Add a signature and date when approved.

From spreadsheet to books
