The Journal Entry Management System (JEMS) is an online system developed by the Financial Systems group of the Division of Financial Affairs designed to improve the speed and efficiency of processing accounting journals for the university.  Journals provide the means to prepare a set of transactions for posting in the general ledger. We've provided below tutorials, a glossary of terms, a history of the software versions, and direct access to JEMS.
