Strangest Expense Report Items

Robert Half Management Resources has produced a new list of the most unusual items submitted for expense report reimbursements, as reported by CFOs.

They include:

• New car
• Rental homes
• Vacations
• Flat-screen TV
• Toilet paper
• Doggie day spa
• Loans
• Rent

• 10-cent parking-meter charge
• Medications
• Taxidermy
• Dance classes

There were also a few items that defied categorization:

• "A side of beef – somebody bought half of a cow"
• "A welder"
• "Somebody else's salary"

A Robert Half Management Resources blog post provides some additional examples in slide show format.
