You must repent to Allah and make up for this day during vacation days or other days. Feeding the poor or financial expiation is not sufficient as long as you are able to make up the day. You are not required to inform anyone of what happened; rather, you can show that you are fasting. Expiation is not obligatory upon you except for breaking the fast by sexual intercourse.
