Comprehensive recalling MBA fails (3-9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all-embracing

'comprehensive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'recalling mba fails' is the wordplay.
'fails' indicates anagramming the letters (a failed spelling).
'recalling'+'mba'='recallingmba'
'recallingmba' is an anagram of 'ALL-EMBRACING'.

(Other definitions for all-embracing that I've seen before include "Encompassing everything" , "Comprehensive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
