The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, appropriate for the task. Terms like 'proportions,' 'outgoings,' 'expenditures,' and 'manifest' are used effectively. However, there's room to enhance the sophistication of the language further. For instance, instead of 'make up the largest amount of expenditure,' you could use 'constitute the most significant portion of expenditure.' Also, vary your word choices to avoid repetition. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.
