[Term] Expenditures [Link] N/A [Definition] 
The actual spending of money as distinguished from the appropriation of funds. Expenditures are made by the Executive Branch; appropriations are made only by Congress. The two rarely are identical in any fiscal year. In addition to some current budget authority, expenditures may represent prior budget authority made available one, two, or more years earlier. See also disbursements.
