Biography

Stephen Spector is a lecturer in accounting and a Fellow of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. Stephen worked for CGA Canada for 20 years before returning to university to follow his passion - teaching. “I've always been an academic at heart,” he notes. “I started the PhD program back in 1981 but dropped it.” Returning to academia, he says, “is a lot more fun and I enjoy it a lot more.”

During four years as a sessional instructor with SFU's Beedie School of Business, Stephen remains involved with the CGA association. He has been a member of the board of governors of CGA BC since 1998 and is its 2009 president. He was chair of the CGA BC Ethics committee from 1999 to 2007. In 2008, Stephen was awarded the TD Canada Trust Distinguished Teaching Award.

Outside of work, he is an avid music fan and collector of classical and movie scores.
