Executive MBA student takes home “Best Cash Budget” honours

SFU Business student Jordan Marr is this year’s winner of the “Best Cash Budget” competition, part of the Bus653 Managerial Accounting course in the Segal Graduate School’s Executive MBA program. The course is one of two at SFU Business allowing selected EMBA potential and recent graduates to partake in the CMA Executive Student Program.

Marr, who will earn his EMBA this term, is no stranger to success in accounting. When taking the accounting component of the EMBA program during the spring of 2009, he placed second in the Business 670 class of 24 students.

“Congratulations are in order to Jordan,” said Alain Duncan, Senior Lecturer on Financial and Managerial Accounting in the Executive MBA program at SFU Business. “We anticipate his completion of a CMA designation will be another rewarding step in his career.”

The Executive MBA program at SFU Business – the first of its kind in Canada – was established by Simon Fraser University for working professionals in 1968. Since then, more than 1500 executives have risen to leadership positions across a range of sectors in organizations locally, nationally and internationally.
