English term or phrase: maverick spending
What is maverick spending?
Maverick spending is the expense resulting from purchases that are breaking the rules established by corporate procedures.

Maverick spending either intentionally ignores defined Procurement processes or are simply by purchasing mistakes that aren’t in accordance with previous negotiated purchasing terms.

Businesses and organizations typically make contracts with suppliers to help build a long-term relationship that’s profitable and favorable to both sides.

despesas anticontratuais


Explanation:
"Despesas irregulares" seria uma boa solução se não se tratasse duma expressão já muito utilizada no setor público, equivalendo quase a "despesas ilegais". Só para evitar essa contaminação, proponho um qualificativo que remeta não só à lei interna da empresa, o seu contrato social, como também aos contratos que a empresa celebra com outros entes.
