Former StFX finance director charged with theft, fraud

CBC has learned that RCMP have charged James Edward Marlow, the former Finance Director of the Coady International Institute at St Francis Xavier University, with theft over $5K and fraud over $5K. StFX is claiming damages of at least $243K in a lawsuit, adds CBC. Marlow has neither denied nor admitted to the charges, but states that he will make reparations. StFX spokesperson Cindy MacKenzie told CBC that the school will not comment on the case while it is before the courts, but stated that StFX is reviewing its segregation of duties and internal controls to prevent similar incidents in the future. CBC
