Japanese term or phrase: 経費の執行

Hi everyone,

I have run into this expression multiple times in different documents, and am not sure on how to render 執行.
Payment? Disbursement? Execution (gasp!)?

Any suggestions would be welcome.
TIA.

payment of expenses

Explanation:
I think "payment of expenses" is the most natural sounding. "Administration of expenses" is another option but I think this is more vague and leaves room for misinterpretation.
