It is my pleasure to announce the appointment of Batchimeg Zuend to the position of Senior Financial Officer in the Financial Affairs Office of the Faculty of Medicine, McGill University.
Batchimeg first joined the Faculty as Budget Officer in the Financial Affairs Office in September 2014. In this capacity, she has been responsible for the development of the Faculty’s overall budget, for the follow-up of the Dean’s discretionary funds and for all external reporting having to do with the Fédération des médecins spécialistes du Québec and the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada. She has also served as liaison with McGill’s central Financial Services and Budget Office with regards to budgetary and financial matters.
In her new role as Senior Financial Officer, Batchimeg will supervise the Deanery Budget and Finance team. She will also be involved in the strategic planning of the Faculty’s Budget Agreement, and in the constant improvement of compliance standards, budget processes, policies and procedures. Among her many tasks, she will provide guidance and leadership with respect to financial matters and special projects, will participate in the continued delivery of budget-related training to the Administrative Excellence Centres and will continue to represent the interests of the Faculty internally and externally.
An MBA graduate from Azusa Pacific University, California, Batchimeg was the recipient of the Award of Excellence to the Most Outstanding Graduate in the program. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, with Honours, from Moscow State Mining University, Russian Federation. Prior to joining McGill, Batchimeg worked as a restricted funds analyst in the Controller’s Office at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, where she oversaw major endowment and gift accounts.
