An expense report is a form used to track spending within a business. Expense reports itemize all of the expenses that businesses require to ensure continued functioning, including employee expenditures for which they request reimbursement, such as gas or meals. Expense reports can also be used to detail employee advances. In both cases, the employee attaches all relevant receipts to the report.
