Note
The -ing form of a verb that always takes an object. You expense a dinner, a flight or a software license, billing it to the company rather than covering it yourself. As a gerund it names the practice itself (expensing meals) and can take a possessive subject, as in her expensing a hotel. Like most verbs ending in a silent e, expense drops that e before -ing.
