visible expense

[ˈvɪzəbəl ɪkˈspɛns]
nounpl: visible expenses
despesa visível
1. A cost or expenditure that is easily seen, noticed, or recorded in financial statements; an explicit and obvious expense
Rent and utility bills are visible expenses that appear on every monthly statement.
Aluguel e contas de serviços são despesas visíveis que aparecem em cada extrato mensal.
2. In accounting, an expense that is directly itemized and apparent in financial records, as opposed to hidden or indirect costs
The company reported all visible expenses in their quarterly financial report.
A empresa informou todas as despesas visíveis em seu relatório financeiro trimestral.
In both Brazilian and American business contexts, the distinction between visible and hidden expenses is crucial for financial transparency and regulatory compliance. Brazilian companies (especially those listed on B3) must clearly itemize visible expenses in their financial statements according to IFRS standards, similar to SEC requirements in the USA.
