expenditures
Funds going out
Expenditures are amounts of money spent, particularly in formal or institutional contexts.
Governments report expenditures in budgets, businesses track capital expenditures, and accountants distinguish expenditures from expenses.
The word carries more weight than simply "spending"—it implies recorded, purposeful outlays: The committee reviewed expenditures for the fiscal year.
