it all depends on if branch is maintaining separate accounting books and for what purpose amount has been paid, if the expenses paid on behalf of head office than pass this entry : - Dr. Expense A/c Cr. bank / cash a/c and if all accounting is maintained at head office then then claim this expnse from head office via a Debit note and pass this entry Dr. Expense A/c Cr.
