The new system supports financial management needs for all University schools, departments, and units as they relate to the:
- general ledger
- sponsored grants and contracts
- non-sponsored projects (restricted funds, designated funds, real projects)
- expense reimbursement
- cash management
- accounts receivable and billing for grants and contracts

The Combined Human Resources and Payroll System Is Online!

myRutgers portal
, click the
Cornerstone
tab, and open the
Employee Self Service
or

Goodbye, TABER Reports. Hello, Online Expense Management!
|
|
Our new expense management system is best-in-class, streamlined, and supported by consistent universitywide policies. The system is integrated with the general ledger, project accounting, grant contract accounting, and accounts payable. This makes submissions, approvals, reporting, and reimbursements more efficient and timely. A user-friendly mobile application is planned for early 2017.
To ensure direct deposit for reimbursements, users will need to enter their banking information manually into the application one time.
To access the system, log in to the
myRutgers portal
, click the
Cornerstone
tab, and open the
Expense
Management
app under the Finance section.
