Business Expense Reports

Ever wonder what's going on with your business expenses? There is so much to track, and it can be a time-consuming process. Business expense reports might be able to help you automate the process and save both time as well as money!

Business expense reports are great tools to use when you need to accurately track how much money your business has spent on something. This information will allow you (or another person) to compare the information gathered against last year's data or another year's data.

Business expense reports are also a great way to control the expenses within your business. Using these reports, you can easily input the necessary information, and then double-check to ensure that everything is correct before submitting it.

It is always recommended that any organization use a computer program that automatically inputs data into an Excel spreadsheet. This will ensure that all information is stored correctly, and it will allow you to track expenses with ease!

Business Expense Reports Can Be Used To Track:

The most common forms of business expense reports include:  Accountant's Reports - These documents will list all of your business expenses for the previous year. You may see other types of accounts (like bank statements) included with this report.  

Business Activity Statements - This report is similar to an accountant's report. It shows all your business income and expenses for the past year.  It may also include other news about your business, like profit margins or sales increases.  Cash Receipts Journals - In this report, you can see what your cash receipts were each day/week of a given time period. This allows you to know how much money came in over a specific period of time (for example, a week or month).  You can also compare this information against previous years' reports to keep track of growth or decline in the amount of money your business has been receiving.  Expensive Items List - In this report, you can see what your most expensive purchases have been.  This information can help you determine which items are adding to your business's expense.

Here are some other reports that you may find useful to track in your business:

Calendar Reports - Lists all of your business expenses and the dates they were paid. This can help you determine whether there were any irregular expenses that may be wasting money in your business. Payroll Statements - A complete list of employees and their pay as well as any withholdings.  This report is available every week on a monthly basis, so it should be given a lot of attention since it can turn out to be quite expensive if not monitored correctly.  If you want to use this type of report, there are some things you should take care of. To ensure that your information is accurate, make sure to double-check the information before using it.  Also make sure to monitor your employees' pay and expenses carefully.  This can help you know if anyone is doing anything wrong by cheating on their expense reports or paying themselves too much money.  You should check everything against last year's data whenever possible as well, so that you don't miss anything!

Another important issue with expense reports is the cutoff date for a business expense report.  Depending on what the business is, this could be a huge concern.  If you have to file an expense report at the end of each year, it will be very difficult to track your expenses accurately.  This is why it is a good practice to avoid this type of expense report.  If you can't avoid this type of expense report, make sure to use a system that can be used by more than one person in the business.  This way, the person submitting the information for the expense report only has to input it once and then it will be automatically sent out to all other members of the organization.

When creating your business expense reports, you should follow these basic suggestions:  You should always check your reports using a checklist before filing them. This will help you ensure that everything is correct before submitting them.  Make sure that nothing on your reports is blank or incorrect.  You should also make sure that you double-check your reports before submitting them.  Compare them against your last year's data and/or previous years' data to make sure everything is accurate.
