From there, the **Reports to Approve **screen will open with a list of all the **Expense Reports** that are pending your **Approval**.

There are 3 ways you can** Approve** or **Decline **an **Expense Report:** 

1. From the **Reports to Approve** screen, swipe left the **Expense Report** you wish to **Approve/Decline**.

Tap on the corresponding button to proceed.

 If you **Approved** the** Expense Report**, a confirmation message will pop up asking you to confirm the **Approval**. As soon as you do that, it will disappear right away from your list of** Reports to Approve.** If there are more people in the** Approval Workflow**, the **Expense Report **will move into the next** Approver or Accounting’s **approval queue.   
![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-31-2023-06-24-20-2526-PM.png?width=408&height=831&name=undefined-Dec-31-2023-06-24-20-2526-PM.png)

If you have **Declined** it, the **Decline Report **message will pop up asking you to confirm the **Decline**.

A soon as you **Decline**, the **Expense Report **will disappear form the **Reports to Approve **list and it will go back to the** Submitter** for review and make any necessary changes. Your entry into the **Decline Report** confirmation will be saved as a **Comment** to the submitter’s **Expense Report.** 

From the Expense report’s details screen you may review the Expenses Details, as well as any attached Receipts.  

Also you can add **Comments **to the **Expenses **as necessary.
