IRIS + Expense Reporting: Complete Workflow
Preparing for expense reporting and using IRIS? Employees and business owners need to extract business expenses from personal or corporate bank statements for reimbursement claims and expense reporting. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and IRIS's import feature.
BankScan AI → IRIS for Expense Reporting
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for IRIS import. Convert your bank statement to Excel, then quickly filter and categorise business expenses for reimbursement claims, P11D reporting, or management accounts.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload Monthly or quarterly, depending on the company's expense policy; P11D reporting covers the full tax year of statements.
AI formats for IRIS
Output as CSV with Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit — IRIS uses Narrative instead of Description and requires separate Debit/Credit columns — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and use for expense reporting
Upload into IRIS and use the reconciled data for expense reporting.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
IRIS + Expense Reporting Features
- IRIS ready — Output formatted as CSV matching IRIS's expected column structure
- Smart integration — IRIS links bank transactions directly to tax computations, so imported statements feed into both bookkeeping and tax return preparation simultaneously.
- Built for Expense Reporting — Convert your bank statement to Excel, then quickly filter and categorise business expenses for reimbursement claims, P11D reporting, or management accounts.
Import for Expense Reporting into IRIS
After converting your bank statements for expense reporting:
- In IRIS Accountancy Suite, open the client file, go to Bank > Import Transactions
- Select the CSV file, map columns to Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit, and import
Common Import Issues
IRIS is strict about column naming — use 'Narrative' not 'Description'. Also requires the CSV to not contain any currency symbols in amount columns.
IRIS Import for Expense Reporting
Monthly expense claims typically due within 30 days of the expense; P11D filing deadline is 6 July following the tax year
