I work for a large tech company out of Ontario, Canada. I am the second most senior accountant on staff for my division (which doesn't really say much), and one of the senior sales managers submitted an expense report for his team for a recent team building exercise in Vegas.

In addition to copious amounts of food and liquor charges (which he can expense, in his capacity as a manager), there are several large individual charges for what I am certain are the purchase of the "services" of sex trade workers. I initially just e-mailed back a standard "expense denied" template e-mail to him for those costs, but he somehow was able to strongarm my own boss into telling me to approve the expenses.

This sickens me on so many levels.

• I have to literally fill out a column in an excel spreadsheet for another woman selling her body as a literal "expense".


• I feel very much offended and harassed by this.


• We're passing the costs of liquor and prostitutes onto the tax payer by claiming these as tax-deductible expenses.

What recourse do I have? I'm being ordered to file this or face a write-up and/or firing, and my boss assured me that it's perfectly fine to claim these expenses as "entertainment". This job pays a lot more than what I would make at another company (would likely be job hunting/hopping for a year before I found something comparable). Is there anything I can do to cover/protect myself (i.e. file the expense with a personal objection in writing attached to it).

Also, are there any outreach groups I could contact (i.e. a professional organization; I don't see tweeting/ranting/public-name-shaming via #MeToo being a constructive approach, as it would kill my career).
