Concur: Filings Falsely Claimed CEO Is U. Of Mich. Grad

Concur Technologies (CNQR) shares fell sharply Friday on reports - now confirmed by the company - that chairman and CEO S. Steven Singh does not actually have a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Michigan, as Concur had asserted in many previous financial filings.

According to Bloomberg,a spokeswoman for the company confirms that Singh did not actually earn an engineering degree from the school. The claims was made in Concur filings from 1998 until January 2007; the company said Singh himself asked the company to remove the reference in future filings. “I deeply regret the mistake,” Singh said in a statement to Bloomberg via an e-mail sent by the spokeswoman.

The wire services reports that Singh was enrolled at Michigan from 1979 until 1983, but did not receive a degree. concur, which makes corporate expense management software, indicated that it would take no disciplinary action in the matter.

Bloomberg notes that the discovery was brought to light by the Fraud Discovery Institute, a San Diego firm co-founded by Barry Minkow, who served more than seven years in prison for fraud committed as CEO of the carpet-cleaning company ZZZZ Best. Bloomberg notes that Minkow, who has recently made something of a habit of uncovering public company execs who have provided inaccurate information about their educational background, says he’s bought put options on Concur.

CNQR today fell $4.47, or 19.75, to $18.20.

Update my status : W/L without interview

I was waitlisted in R2 w/o interview. Today, Ross extended an interview invite to me. While I am excited about this development, I was wondering if anyone has experience with interview process after being waitlisted. Thx.

I've updated/cleaned up the stats on p.1 of the thread.

Please make a post or pm me (or one of the others mods) so that we can further update the stats and make any changes/corrections.

for your records:

R1 app 10/10/08
waitlisted 1/15/09
accepted 3/11/09
matriculating with small scholarship

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I declined my offer of admission this morning. I'll either be going to Duke or Yale, but have yet to make my final decision.

Hopefully one of you guys on the waitlist can have my spot.

Congrats!

Totally called it...
