Sprott alumnus awarded UFE Honour Roll

Jeremy Rutke (BCom/11) has made the Honour Roll of  the Chartered Accountant’s Uniform Evaluation (UFE), considered to be one of the world’s most challenging professional entry exams. Rutke placed in the top 50 of the 3,077 individuals who wrote the national exam.

“I was very shocked and surprised. I wasn’t sure where I stood coming out of the exam, but finding out that I made the UFE Honour Roll was certainly very welcomed news,” says Rutke. “I also want to thank the professors at Sprott who provided me with the strong technical base that allowed me to reach this accomplishment.”

Rutke, who works for Deloitte & Touche LLP in Ottawa, graduated with highest honours in 2011 from Sprott’s Bachelor of Commerce program with a concentration in Accounting.

The UFE, written in September, is a national three-day evaluation that assesses competencies including essential knowledge, professional judgment, ethics and the ability to communicate. The UFE is an important component of the CA qualification program, which includes prescribed education, practical experience and examination requirements. Only those who complete this entire program successfully are entitled to use the internationally recognized designation of Chartered Accountant.

Congratulations Jeremy!
