It can be separated on the budget, but apparently, in the end, it is still "travel"... I know it is misleading, I am not so happy with that either.
If you're not happy with it, why did you vote to approve it? You shouldn't ever vote to approve financial statements that you know to be misleading.
It's misleading to us mere mortals - I guess to accountants it's just the way things are done. To my knowledge, Ant isn't an accounting expert, so she has to base her vote on the advice she receives from those that are.
That's all fine and well, but if she receives advice from someone and is happy with their explanation, then she shouldn't later say she isn't happy with it and that it's misleading.
I don't have a problem with the statement. I have a problem with someone voting to approve a statement that they don't understand.
