Sundry expenses
Sundry expenses are minor costs that a traveler incurs during a business trip that do not fit neatly into standard expense categories such as lodging, transportation, or meals.
These expenses are often small, incidental, and unpredictable, but they are still necessary for completing travel activities.
For example, during the trip, a traveler purchases a local SIM card to maintain mobile connectivity, pays a small fee to print presentation materials at a copy shop, and buys a few office supplies from a nearby store to prepare for a client meeting.
While each expense may be insignificant on its own, collectively they can represent a meaningful portion of overall spending.
It’s crucial to monitor sundry expenses to maintain financial transparency, support accurate reporting, and prevent misuse or misclassification of funds.
