A client wishes me to change from describing disbursements on invoices as Postage, Office Supplies, Telephone, Travel & Meetings, Travel Insurance etc and to include everything under the description 'Office Communications' in order to make it easier to get the invoices approved for payment by their clients.
After much discussion they insisted that it should all appear as Office Communications & Expenses, to which I have not yet agreed.
This seems like a deliberate attempt to conceal the actual items being invoiced from their clients and feels unethical, if not illegal.
Are there any rules regarding the wording relating to disbursements? Can anyone advise me please?
