What is an expense report form?

An expense report form is a document used by employees to report work-related expenses for reimbursement. The form allows companies to properly monitor reimbursement and to assess the nature of business expenses.

The top part of a typical expense report form includes boxes or lines where an employee reports personal information, such as name, job title and department. The main section of the form includes spaces where the employee indicates the date, description and cost of each reported expense. The form may also ask for a coding category for use in accounting. The bottom typically includes a total, an employee signature and a supervisor signature line.
