Expense Review Project

Expense Review will be the monthly online statement for your accounts.

Cornell will replace the current salary certification process with a new Expense Review process in Fall 2025: 

  • Expense Review allows you to identify and fix accounting errors within Cornell’s 90-day cost transfer window. 
  • Every month, you can review your expenses and details in one place. 
  • You can complete your sponsored accounts expense review with a single button. 
  • This timely, simplified process replaces the current annual process. 
  • For more details, see this presentation: Introduction to Expense Review.

We look forward to helping you streamline your account review process this fall with Expense Review!
