What is the most outrageous expense claim accountants attending Accountex North have seen pass across their desks? That is the question asked by Cloud2Me, and the results range from everything to Rolex watches to racehorses!
So, do any of these real examples pass muster:
- A Rolex watch “to get to meetings”.
- Wedding dresses and engagement rings.
- Trips to Ibiza, Paris, and Las Vegas (with limousines included).
- A racehorse, categorised as “work equipment”.
- £42,000 for a box at Manchester City.
- Cosmetic surgery, including a boob job.
- £500 of McDonald’s food.
- Doggy daycare and accessories.
- School fees.
- A ski trip combined with a strip club visit.
- An aquarium and a packet of Werther’s Originals.
Well, as you know none of these are “essential office equipment”.
