Attendees
For some expense types, such as business meals or entertainment, users may be required – sometimes for corporate reasons; sometimes for legal reasons – to identify all attendees associated with that expense. In some cases, each individual attendee must be listed. In other cases, it may be acceptable for the user to simply enter a count (number of attendees).
- Staff Members
-
From your new expense, scroll down in Expense Details until you see Attendees. Select in the Search box for yourself or any other UNSW employee and select the name. Then select the status of "travelling" (more than 100 kms from usual UNSW campus) or "not travelling".
This is the simplest method to add a small number of UNSW employees.

- Naming Attendees
-
There are some expense types where you are required to specifically name each person who attended, this is usually for tax or corporate policy reasons. This explains which require a person's name and which you can put "x 10".
As a general rule, if your expense could be considered entertainment, you will most likely have to name employees individually.

- Non Staff members (incl Students)
-
1. Select New Attendee, this is for non-UNSW staff members. 2. Then select Attendee Type, Student, Family Member or Other.

3. If there is only one or two students, add in the names of the students.4. If there is a bulk amount of students, type in a name that refers to the group, e.g. Alumni.
5. If you add in a set of students in this way, you will need to change Attendee Count from 1 to the total number of students.
- I have a function with many attendees, how do I deal with that?
-
In some cases, such as when you have organised a large function, it is not necessary to add the names of each Attendee to your Expense.
When you are filling out the Expense Details, put in the number of attendees under the header "Attendee Count". Then mark the status of that group of attendees.
