"To cover" expresses a meaning similar to "review" in this context. The verb "to cover" has a few meanings, however when Polly writes that "we have covered most of the staff" she means that she, Bruno and Icarus have already "reviewed" the expense accounts of most of the staff.
The verb "to cover" does not refer to the act of "scheduling appointments". It is fair to assume that Polly, Bruno and Icarus did meet or have appointments with other staff members regarding their expense accounts, however.
This is incorrect. In a different context, the verb "to cover" can indicate that someone paid for something. Example: My father covered the expenses of my first wedding, but not my second or third.
The verb "to cover" doesn't express that Polly, Bruno and Icarus have asked the rest of the staff about the discrepancy in Bob's expense account, but rather that Polly, Bruno and Icarus have already "reviewed" the rest of the staff's expense account.

1 front page: "Front page" is the right answer. The "front page" of a newspaper is where the most important (or most shocking) stories appear, in order to attract readers' attention. Here's another example: "When Freddie ate my hamster, he appeared on the front page of all the tabloid papers".
2 bold: "Bold" is the term we were looking for. Bold text looks like this. It is used to highlight or draw attention to important information. Example: "If you want people to read this important information, you should put it in bold!".
3 capital: "Capital letters" look like this: A, J, S, A, G, D. In English, proper nouns such as "London", "Smith", and "French" all begin with capital letters. Note that we can also say "uppercase letters".
4 headlines: "Headlines" is the term we were looking for. The "headlines" are the titles of articles, which appear in bold text at the top of each story. Examples: "President Brush Resigns!", "1000s Die in Cyclone!".
