**What happens**: When an Expensify Card is used to make purchases, the amount spent is automatically deducted from your company’s 'Settlement Account' (your business checking account). This deduction happens on a daily or monthly basis, depending on your chosen settlement frequency. Don't worry; this settlement account is pre-defined when you apply for the Expensify Card, and you can't accidentally change it.
**Accounting treatment**: After your card balance is settled each day, we update your accounting system with a journal entry. This entry credits your bank account (referred to as the GL account) and debits the Expensify Card Clearing Account. To ensure accuracy, please make sure that the 'bank account' in your Expensify Card settings matches your real-life settlement account. You can easily verify this by navigating to **Settings > Account > Payments**, where you'll see 'Settlement Account' next to your business bank account. To keep track of settlement figures by date, use the Company Card Reconciliation Dashboard's Settlements tab:

### Submitting, Approving, and Exporting Expenses
**What happens**: Users submit their expenses on a report, which might occur after some time has passed since the initial purchase. Once the report is approved, it's then exported to your accounting software.
**Accounting treatment**: When the report is exported, we create a journal entry in your accounting system. This entry credits the Clearing Account and debits the Liability Account for the purchase amount. The Liability Account functions as a bank account in your ledger, specifically for Expensify Card expenses:
