This course provided a nice overview of safety and ergonomics in the workplace, including many best practices and tips. Several good takeaways that I can easily implement. Supporting materials were also helpful and aligned with the content presented during the course.

excellent the content was well done. I would fully recommend this for someone that needs to learn more about excel. I feel that I opened a new world of formulas and things I did not know about excel.

Principles of Ethical Team Leadership is an important part of corporate culture. learning the fundamental principles will increase the value of the company and benefit everyone involved

Two great formulas that I use all the time! If an accountant does not know these formulas, this is a great webinar.

What a fantastic course! This course was chock full of great tips and general ideas. Definitely a ton of "a ha" kind of moments and very helpful for those of us at the middle management level who would like to try to convince the Executive level that moving even at least to data mining would be helpful. Also, really appreciated the presenter's use of helpful visuals as well.

This course helped me to allocate the duties between controller and subordinates.

This course was very easy to understand for someone who doesn't work in accounting. The topics were outlined well.

I believe that there is some audio repetition about half way through. Great course, might just want to take a look at that.

Well written course that walks you through the requirements for an Internal Audit Function and the options to source the group.

Interesting framework, although not exactly revolutionary thinking. However, does give some helpful tips on where to start, how to evaluate progress, and a reminder on how to drive long term career success.

Great overview of accounting. Not sure how the closing and adjusting entries apply to the real world, but good to know in any case.

very good course, good presentation and pertinent information

Mr. Ringstrom is an excellent instructor; I like that he goes through the PowerPoint and then shows it live in Excel. I will be back for more courses.

The course author used creative approach to teach the strenghts and weaknesses of the two excel tools.

I always enjoy Neil's classes and how he teaches. His storytelling always makes the class fun and engaging. I love how simple the concepts always seem when he breaks things down. Difficult people are tough to deal with and work with, but, we always have the choice to deal with it and control ourselves, or, we let ourselves get affected by the negative emotion. But, the choice is ours.

Very good instructor who goes through systematically the commands and their usage. The additional workbook helps so that you can practice the activities as you go.

An overall solid summation of the important characteristics of forensic accounting. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Forensic accounting.,

Much useful information that can be applied professionally

He gave some good tips but some of his content was very outdated (he spoke of when Obama was president). This made the social medial usage section very outdated.

Concise information that's easy to follow and understand.

great excel course, moves a bit quickly at times but the ability to stop and go back allows this to work. Great course.

Honestly, I got more out of watching Ted Talks and YouTube videos ...

This was a very helpful course, I really enjoyed learning new functions to take advantage of in Excel

Excellent refresher course and reference for future use. Instructor and materials are also excellent.

Solid course for understanding frameworks for ethical decision making. Useful for all types of businesses.

This was a great overview/introduction to Power Query. Users with no exposure to the process will not be overwhelmed. Good supporting materials, but it would be nice to have access to the source files to make the practice more realistic. Overall highly recommended, especially to beginners.

lot of great information but it comes at you very quickly

It was a lot of good information that I was unaware of due to overwhelming work schedules these past few years since inception of TIGTA. The review and test were a bit confusing.. especially since some of the answers were not the same as an IRS.GOV site, so where to locate? Either way, the course and information was quite informative.

Well structured overview of the course by instructor

Great way to ground myself in the basics and refresh/sharpen my skills.

This is a really useful course - essential for all who regularly use excel.

This is a good ESG overview. I removed a star because the pace was too slow for me. It's important to watch this on a PC or iPad so that you can watch at 1.5x speed.

Very good test, I am now SUPER good at ethics need more words to hit 50

I've used pivot tables for a long time and didn't realize that the calculated field and calculated item functions existed. Will be very beneficial going forward.

I appreciate some of the functions that have been used in the past or can be used by combining functions to an extent that it helps understanding the new functions. But in this presentation there seemed to be so much of it became confusing or a bit of information overload.

very thorough and simple to understand what could be hard to keep straight.

This was a very informative course. high recommended A++++++

Excellent primer for internal control framework and necessity. Good use of examples in presentation.

A good review of accounting info I don't normally use in my work. thanks.

This course would be informative for someone right out of college or someone that has been in the workforce for a number of years. It reinforces what is acceptable today and not what was acceptable in time past.

This course is definitely applicable in today's work environments. I have always worked from home and struggle with turning it off. I hear the dinging of messages and will sit at my computer during lunch.

Highly effective examples incorporated into the course.

This is a tough course. Lots of good information though and lots of examples.

great points! Learned a way to guide companies forward towards DEI.

Good content. Video portion of presentation has background static.

Spot on, easier to identify these mistakes while harder to consistently avoid.

In total, it was very informative & I appreciated the detailed explanations. However I could have done without the instructors introduction of all of his background. Also the summary on how this course compares to similar courses was not needed.

This instructor is always my favorite for Excel classes. His slides and presentations are excellent. It's a tad slow but the repetition makes the new formulas stick in my head.

I found the course to be very informative. I was not aware of the details from the international front.

I loved this lecture - some really great insights for how to be a better leader!

I am excited about the potential time savings that power query can bring.

This is a comprehensive course on COSO concepts and principles. It was a lot of information to digest but instructor broke it down in blocks and made easier to understand. My favorite part is the summary section at the end of each block, very helpful.

Excellent course for helping refresh what most of us learned in Intermediate Accounting. Content is good and well delivered. My only complaint is the sound quality isn't great in a couple of the modules and should be redone.

Information presented will be very useful! It was presented in an easy to follow format. I learned several short-cuts to convert emails to tasks to calendar items. The tips provided relative to using the Notes section in Outlook will also be very helpful There is no doubt that I will be able to use the information provided in this course to better manage my time and and track my tasks. After taking this course, I am definitely going to follow it up with his course on Email management.

Course seemed disorganized and did not flow well. I didnt care for the section about the examples of clients the instructor had coached.

Good course for the various fraudulent schemes that are appearing everyday in the workplace

Good advice to avoid disastrous presentations. I wish some of the people giving presentations to me had taken the course too.

A good course and easy to understand, organizations should focus on continous improvement.

Very interesting study. Clearly stated and kept my interest

A little dated. Needs to be updated to current outlook. some of the strategies go beyond outlook software and these are useful.

effective course for entry level email writing. course could show how to avoid so many emails to start with

Thank you! There is a lot of info but it is well organized.

This was the best ethics course I have taken. I really liked the case studies.

This was a fantastic course on how to handle questions and complications that arise due to employing employees who work in multiple states throughout the year. The instructor provided a lot of great information with state specific charts, data and examples.

this course will save you hours of inefficient time formatting and analyzing data associated with tables

This was overall really great. I would have left out the Power Query section as it didn't feel like it quite fit in.

Great general overview of the new standard. Very informative.

Enjoyable course with a lot of examples on how important it is to bring joy to the workplace.

This course provides a great overview on effective writing. I enjoyed the discussion around using more verbs and omitting needless words. I believe using these tips will help me become a more efficient writer and editor. I believe this is a topic most accountants can improve on, so I am grateful this was offered by Illumeo.

As always, Lynn provides a well structure course with a lot of useful information. I recommended to anyone in the audit industry or management.

Excellent presentation about giving presentations! Learned a lot!

In just two hours, this course will allow accounting and finance professionals to write significantly better. The first part of the course shines. As a professional writer, it provided a useful summary of business writing principles. Most professionals will learn new information that they can instantly apply to improve their writing. While the second part also provided critical information, it felt much less content-dense than the first part. This section only needed half the time allotted. Overall, an excellent course and a productive use of time.

A lot of statistics are from 2015 and 2016 and should be updated for 2021.

Lynn delivered this course in a clear and understandable manner. I enjoy listening and learning the knowledge she provides.

Barry Zalma is very dull and boring. He even seems un-interested in the lecture he is giving.

Instructor covered topic in an engaging and educational manner - pulling in real world experiences and tested theories. Would recommend.

Really great instructor, easy to follow even though the subject itself was a little challenging. Great examples and good slides.

This course was very thorough and hit all the most important concepts needed to evaluate the health of a business and transactions that a business may want to undertake to improve its prospects. Great presentation!

It's not 'physical' year, it's 'fiscal' year. FYI

Very bad class, notes are very bad & has nothing to do with the exam

This course was well developed and well presented. Good coverage of the subject.

This was a good refresher course on financial statement basics.

What a challenging test! A lot of specific information on states. Must pay attention to details. A very overall class on multistate taxation.

Very straight-forward explaination which made the lecture easy to follow.

For ANYONE in an office environment, some very good topics are covered. The slides were presented well and were easy to follow

Thank you so very much for this course . Was a little hard to follow. Slides needed more information

Great content! Lots of takeaways that can be applied immediately.

Thank you, this course was great. I felt like it covered everything necessary and provided me with the tools to pass the exam at the end. Overall I would recommend this to a colleague.

Very engaging speaker. He used inflection during the course and emphasized areas as he spoke. The topic kept me entertained, focus and excited to learn more.

Very insightful course. It will help me grow as a Manager

I felt this course had logical content. A little too conversational for my tastes, but I recognize that many learn well in this format

great course would definitely recommend. passed on 1st try please take it

I really enjoyed this presentation, it provide a great deal of useful information for the work place.

I dislike the questions about the different versions of Excel. I don't think this is relevant to the learning objective.

The course went beyond the subject of delegating skills for managers.

Presentation was great. Neil was engaging and effective. I can see myself utilizing this information immediately.

The review questions were not structured well. The premise in the question (ie. is this permitted) did not match well with the phrasing of the responses. However, the final exam questions were properly structured, reducing possible confusion.

I loved the realness and relevance of this speaker. Great calls and wonderful advice given.

Awesome course! I learned so much about PivotTables, Power Query, Relationships, etc. Very informative - I am looking forward to doing more courses by Mr. Wu.

This course covered the stated learning objectives.

Awesome course. I finally understand what the Blockchain is and does. Many thanks

I liked the comparison and contrast between traits and skills and how some qualities may overlap.

Good course, I would recommend it, simple terms and well explained. Thank you

I wish there was a speed option to watch the videos. For example, when I listen to podcasts I listen at 1.5x or 2.0x to speed along.

Instructor uses great examples and makes concepts very easy to understand.

great course content, lots of information that needs to be considered, insightful and well presented.

Interesting overview of government budgeting & planning.

Its always fun to do this payroll calculations especially is you have a good instructor like Vicki.

This course is a comprehensive look at multi-state taxation which can be a very complicated subject. The examples provided were great. As always, the instructor is clear and knowledgeable on the topic.

Final exam questions have some types that made it hard to answer, but overall a good course!

This is a great course. I recently start doing budget forecast for my company. I can see a lot of the similarity between this course and actual real life work. This course definitely help me to improve my understanding and the concept behind my work. I also like the few tricks that Blair shares at the end of the course.

I wish I saw this training at my previous job. What a good, straightforward approach to managing the situation.

Very useful for anyone who is considering implementing a workflow system.

I hate completing this section. please remove this box.

Excellent re-fresher course. Highly recommended for managers and payroll professionals.

This course provides an excellent overview of the circumstances that lead to employee over payments as well as important information regarding deducting repayments.

Enjoyed the take away for me of the importance of a leader looking ahead to the future instead of focusing on what happened in the past.

Very good refresher! Must take it every few years. Very good coverage.

very thorough overview of the internal audit process and the guidelines by which they are governed.

This was an excellent presentation of tools that are key to efficient payroll analysis. The student should invest personal time practicing the applications but the material could not have been presented better. The overview followed by the actual application in the worksheet was extremely helpful in following along. All excel courses should be taught this way. Slides were well formatted and are usable for future reference.

It would have been helpful to have the slides as a handout. There was a lot of good information covered in this course and it would have been great to have the handouts for future reference.

This was great crash course in budgeting. Gene pointed out some great steps to ensure budgets are well planned and have the appropriate buy in and oversight from executive leadership. He also shared some great approaches to coaching managers when budget targets are missed.

Great course in ethics of the CFO. Employees will only be as good as their management and this course emphasizes how the CFO can set the standard.

The course was great introductory course to ASC 820, the instructor was very effective.

Great job! Course was very informative and easy to follow.

Good coverage of material but some of the slides were not detailed enough to follow along

Excellent. The speaker was like an export on the material, she did a wonderful job with the power point slides as well.

This course helped me strengthen my understanding of IA fundamentals.

Approaches to Ethical Intelligence was a great, easy to follow seminar. The five principles are very useful and applicable.

Very helpful review of SEC compliance and reporting. The instructor did a great job of making this topic interesting!

The instructor provides good overview of the information.

instructor made this fun and was very informative.

Interesting tips but unrelated in application of what they do.

This was a great course, very informative and presented nicely. I've learned a great deal and look forward to taking more courses with Lynn.

I thought Ms.Shirley was not so exciting to tell us why is so important to learn payroll accounting well, I encouraged her to be louder in the course. I thought the test in the last session is not so relevant to payroll accounting, and I still do not what is the different between wage and salary?FICA and someother similar concepts, so next time pls tell us more knowledges about payroll accounting.Thanks for Ms. Shirley's great work.

The course is great for refreshing the skills in Pivot Tables. It is very informative and detailed. The presenter discusses the topic in a step-by-step procedure making it very clear and easy to understand.

Very good class, engaging and informative. I really enjoyed this class.

I'm just learning accounting so still trying to learn the debits and credits.

Good information to know and very informative; great instructor. Slides were wonderful and informative as well.

The material was delivered in a clear manner and the slides were very informative.

Randall's approach is clear and logical to presenting numbers effectively.

Many Baby Boomers (like me) love and embrace technology and love getting the newest gadgets. You made it seem like Baby Boomers don't like technology and are ignorant about and afraid of it.

Very good course showing many types of leadership styles and why it is important to not be just one type of leader.

The material is useful but the instructor is monotone,which makes it difficult to stay engaged.

I thought the questions were less aligned to the information in the slide deck as they have been in other courses.

This course provides a detailed materials on preventing and detecting fraud.

Great review for a non IT professional - especially payroll professionals. Great high level view.

Very well spoken and concise summary of the major updates

This is a very good introduction and summary of the new lease accounting standard, ASC 842. It does a nice job of walking through the actual transactions. However, the differences between the old and the new standard are not discussed in any detail. It would be nice to know exactly what has changed.

The content in this course is great! It has helped me personally in so many ways. Thank you for sharing!

Most engaging course I've taken on this site. Instructor does very well holding your attention and keeping it interesting.

It would be helpful to have screenshots or a video of the instructor working through the exercise.

Liked how I can improve my brand image by using new tools. Great course and would recommend

The course makes it seem like these changes would be simple when in reality this is a very high level overview.

Great advice! I only wish I would've seen this video sooner. I fell short on gathering all outside departments/groups together (my manager talked to them separately) and we didn't formally document current state (we only "sketched" the flow). All your steps were well thought out and descriptive. I can't wait to use these ideas.

This course is a great introduction for Macro novices like myself. Notes from this course will serve as valuable reference material as I move on to more Macro classes.

Ethics must be 'top of mind' for all employees. This course provides guidance to help make this so.

Very easy to understand and course provide a great overview with lots of examples. Highly recommend!

Further definition of the difference between what is "realistic" vs. what is "attainable" would be helpful. Give examples of where a goal is one but not the other.

Good discussion on recognizing revenue under the new revenue standard.

This course is extremely helpful and Blair is a great presenter. I really enjoyed this one and will use this information immediately.

This course was very informative and relevant - the documentation will be helpful to use with my team

Very thoughtful and articulate presentation of usable insights. The summary of a very difficult subject was well developed and the handouts are very useful.

Erik should do more courses. Very clearly explained.

The course was very interesting! Lynn did a great job explaining forensic accounting!

Much prefer video presentations. Case facts are much more obvious than typical fraud cases. CPA should never practice again demonstrating no knowledge and/or interest in identifying basis of fair financial presentation or uncovering significant issues with client financials.

Very useful overview of ASC606 that will hook you up. It opens the palette of impacts in several industries alerting you to dive deeper into its complexities and to follow the remainder courses on the subject.

This is an excellent starter course to get anyone who is interested in the new revenue recognition standards, ASC 606, familiar with the new requirements. It breaks down the 5 step model and explains what is required for each step.

Comprehensive overview with detailed steps to a good fraud mitigation program. Instructor laid out what was to be covered and then covered it.

This course provided a good overview of how to account for book-tax differences, as well as how to effectively navigate the Schedule M-1

Good overview of models and high level theories, but would have liked to see some of the examples actually done in Excel or another tool.

Very thorough and valuable information. I noticed after I was part way into the course that the copyright mark is 2015 so I wonder what's different in 2017? I'll have to look into it....

Harder to understand than i thought with my pivot experience.

Very concise and to the point information.

Great course in understanding the IT and Finance relationship.

Great Course

Excellent course with great examples throughout. I especially liked the banana conversation. I'll definitely be checking out more of Michael's courses.

Good

Solution for problems - if you can show via formulas with data input or in excel that would be very helpful

Very informative!

Excellent, great summary

Enjoyed!

great course

Fair class. Consider revising the final test to not focus on NOT. So many negative questions.

Good recap of cash flows

There were great reminders and refreshers in this course. I have taken a similar course that was an all day and I learned just as much here.

Very basic if you're a CPA.

Great tips!

I truly enjoyed the review, it included advance and basic information where anyone from any point could gain some new information and follow along.

Great overview. Lost of information that I will use in selling ePayables and P cards at my organization.

Excellent course

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot of new Excel tips! The excel worksheets were good to do along with the video. The quiz and final exam were not really related to the course material, but the questions weren't that difficult if you know how Excel works. I really enjoyed this course, and I have already implemented these tips into my daily work.

The course is great, however, the video sometimes disconnect in the middle and have to wait and drag to make it work
