2007 Ottawa Accounting Competition

JMSB undergraduate students win three medals at the 2007 Ottawa Accounting Competition

November 9-11, 2007 – Universities from across Quebec and Ontario competed in three academic events in the 4th edition of the Ottawa Accounting Competition hosted by the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa.

The Ottawa Accounting Competition is an undergraduate business competition where eight universities compete in teams of three individuals in the following disciplines: managerial accounting, financial accounting and tax.

We would like to congratulate the following teams who represented JMSB at the Ottawa Accounting Competition 2007 and earned a podium finish:

GOLD:

Managerial Accounting: Cathy Sit, Farinaz Bahmani, Nayla Chebli (shown in picture from left to right)

BRONZE:

Financial Accounting: Basel Arafe, Pat Gagnon, Alexandra Komourdjian
Tax: Maxie Lafleur, Faizan Maqsood, Josh Rotstein

There was also an individual aspect to the competition where all competitors were required to complete a 25-question examination before their case preparation, and the highest score would be awarded the Golden Calculator Award. This year’s winner was JMSB’s Joshua Rotstein.

A very special thank you to all the faculty and staff that helped the delegation achieve this impressive performance: Head Coach Mark Haber, Gail Fayerman and Tara Ramsaran.

John Molson Competition Committee would like to thank the John Molson School of Business and the Commerce and Adminstration Students’ Association (CASA) for their generous support towards helping the JMSB delegation attend the competition.
