I believe that having the right attitude is far more powerful and useful than all the written rules in the world.
This course explores the interaction between ethics, attitude and some workplace laws – with multiple examples of how they are applied in the workplace.
The course discusses ethical and legal dilemmas, changes over time, some workplace laws, some examples of differences in international business, the question of whether social responsibility should or should not be a workplace mandate, attitudes and how they affect laws such as those in Title VII, and how moral beliefs changed over time.
The examples given are from real workplace experiences and some of them will have the reader wondering whether his or her prior opinion continues to be valid.
Finally, there will be a series of tips to make a code of ethics live and breathe inside the workplace.

(113 rating)Good presentation with clear examples of the ethics of team leadership. Real life examples were used which demonstrated the principles of ethical leadership. Found the course easy to follow and understand.
Helpful overview of the leasing process. Thank you for this course!
I've been using pivot tables for years and still picked up a few helpful hints in this lesson. This is a very useful session for any user.
I would have liked a video with an explanation with examples. Also, I don't see an explanation of how an applicant is defined. Otherwise a helpful course.
Liked that it was text based so I could go at my own pace and review sections again if needed with a simple document search.
Ethical issues are sometimes downrated, what is not correct. Great presentation.
Helps provide a quick guide to different leadership styles.
This course was useful. I will recommend this course to others.
happy to pass the exam at one time, Great and thanks you.
It's hard to distill the entire history of ethical thought down into a 2 hour business course, but I give credit to the instructor for making the effort.
I liked the fact that the presenter had a good sense of humor and was able to make the accounting course more interesting and enjoyable to listen than it might otherwise have been.
Very interesting course! ..................................................................
The excitement of the content combined with the enthusiasm and insight of Mr. Wasny make this course, along with those he presents on AI, the most inspiring and motivational I've experienced on this platform.
it was very intersting to have the contection to the case in Canada.
Great course on ethical and regulatory considerations for remote employees. This will interest you!
great way to understand the meaning of fraud and where to look out in the internal control function
Definitely works your brain and is a great refresher. Course is a great reminder of the tools CFOs have and how to use them.
Very helpful especially on calculations which is an area I struggle with.
Very thought provoking course with insightful observations
Love Blair's webinars! Definitely wish there were more available on Illumeo. He is one of my facotire presenters!
This is a good course to demonstrate knowledge to get CPE. It's a good pdf that is thorough.
Terrible quiz questions....wrong tenses and unprofessional grammar (E.g. "little white lies" and "cut it"). Also, thanks for the interesting but totally irrelevant adrenal system questions.
Well thought-out content and presentation. Periodic mis-spell and various fonts made it seem less professional and the course was prepared on the fly with heavy Covid-19/Zoom fatigue :)
This was a very helpful course, I really enjoyed learning new functions to take advantage of in Excel
The course covers a significant amount of material that is often uncommon such as disposal of divisions and going concern treatments. It's well done and interesting.
Though I am not directly into cash flow analysis in my work, this lesson was an eye openiner for me.
This was a great course to introduce me to features of excel that I have never used to give me a great understanding of how they might be used in practical everyday applications of Excel.
Excellent refresher course and reference for future use. Instructor and materials are also excellent.
OK, good speaker but boring content. The content was short and precise, good for the most part for a 1 hour CPE.
Great course covering many important concepts and history behind evolution of current accounting standards
The Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments The Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments The Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments The Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments The Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments vThe Treasury Function Part 1: Cash, Liquidity and Investments
Excellent course on some basics of Strategic Management. Nice intro for newcomers in the workforce who have not grasped the importance of strategic placement in the market.
Enjoyed the instructors enthusiasm of the subject. However, this is a technical course and the materials (PDF) were not helpful in providing a take away for what was taught.
Ethical leadership is such an important topic and this was a really great course with a lot of examples that described ethical leadership in a number of different ways.
This course provides some great information. The topics covered are very helpful as well.
Good discussion of potential pitfalls to watch out for when working with NFP
The course is very useful for those risk management professionals who need to rethink their organizational planning efforts.
I like the overarching subject matter of the course and especially the sections on SWOT
Good material and overview of SAAS metrics. Sound was a little low could be increased but otherwise good
This course is a good overview of professional ethics for MD CPAs
Very good test, I am now SUPER good at ethics need more words to hit 50
This was a very informative course. high recommended A++++++
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.
Very informative tools and materials for a financial accountant's daily work life! Practice makes perfect!
Learned a lot about filtering, and the instructor was spot on and explained in detail. I like how the instructor walks you through every example.
I really liked the course but the background music was too loud.
informational training on construction accounting and ASC 606
The quiz had typos and was very confusing. It would be helpful proofread and make sure the question makes since.
Lynn, the generational divide is an important concept to understand when hiring. This class helps me to understand the challenges in how I must lead the different members on my Team. The biggest challenge is in group meetings and in Team building. This course is very helpful. Thank you, Larry
I loved this lecture - some really great insights for how to be a better leader!
These quarterly updates never disappoint. I look forward to these and knowing I'm up to date on current accounting issues.
A solid course providing the general macro overview of the fintech market and its importance on the financial system. Discussion includes emerging fintech such as blockchain/cryptocurrencies and their potential use cases in innovating the current financial markets and systems.
The presentation was extremely well-ordered and seamlessly moved through teaching the facts then applying with examples of each approach.
This course meets the AICPA ethics requirements for AZ CPAs and is better than some alternative courses I considered.
Very interesting study. Clearly stated and kept my interest
Overall helpful in understanding the differences between profit and not for profit. It got a bit confusing because the examples titles sometime did not match the explanations.
effective course for entry level email writing. course could show how to avoid so many emails to start with
If you want a good refresher or overview of ASC 606, this course provides that. If you wanted answers on how COVID impacts the application of ASC 606, this course is good at identifying questions to consider but leave many questions unanswered.
I would have preferred the screenshots of items go left to right, rather than up and down.
Treasury stock is hard! But this class helped break it down easily.
I liked the different ways to look at things throughout our life daily.
The material covered was very detailed and this session covered a lot of good information for both state and unemployment.
A video presentation would have been helpful to augment the paper.
Great job at covering the basics of ethics, considerations, the FCPA and Sarbanes Oxley
Good review course. This was a solid refresher for something I have been away from for some time.
One word- Interesting? This course is general motivational info, not necessarily related to COVID. There were a couple of good stories:)
Great content! Lots of takeaways that can be applied immediately.
It was great to review and/or learn anew these important topics.
Even if you know Excel, can be a useful refresher course I learned a few new tips.
Other illumeo presenters should take this course! Awesome!
the final exam questions are not clearly addressed in the slides.
Generally good advices and I hope the course can add more real life examples to support the theoretical system.
Really enjoy courses by ArLyne Diamond. Great content and and engaging presenter.
Excellent instructor! I look forward to taking more of his courses regarding non-profit organizations.
Quick session, to the point and so true! Great reminder of what is important and what to continue to focus on to be the best version of yourself.
I liked the comparison and contrast between traits and skills and how some qualities may overlap.
Training audit tests on specific examples will always help you learn the material more accurately.
I enjoyed this presentation, it provided a new insight on correcting small (and large) safety issues that are found in most businesses. You also receive guidance on ergonomics, proper lifting, etc., and who can't use that?
This was both relatable and informative. Definitely worth the time.
Clear and well thought out presentation. Thank you.
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.
outdated with 2013 data - don't think FCPA enforcement has increased under Trump
good Course. I recommend all treasury managers in company to go through this course
Very well presented. Easy to understand and follow.
The course was great introductory course to ASC 820, the instructor was very effective.
Really appreciate the sharing of the two macro coding, extremely useful!
Different type of class. Was more of a psychology class and a bit new age thinking then your standard corporate CE class.
The class was very informative ...I liked the industry segment Impact review ...the class content was clear and concise and informative
This was one of the best courses I took - I really liked the fact that you could follow along with the instructor using the worksheets provided!
Good course. I've already read Haidt's "The Righteous Mind" and read up on the Milgram experiment, but it was good to see those tied in to business ethics.
Nice looking/professional presentation and materials.
Great Course I think we need more documentation.
There were a lot of great tools on making your LinkedIn more effective.
This course provides a detailed materials on preventing and detecting fraud.
Bit different reading vs. video but well presented
This may have been the best e-learning I have ever done. I say that without sarcasm. I learned so much in this. The content, stories, passion of the speakers, etc. rang true here and I will remember it for a long time to come.
I wish the examples on the slides were a little more clear.
It was a good review of the foundational concepts.
Having someone just read the slides in a monotone does not add anything to the course.
Comprehensive, informative and well delivered course.
Good overview of financial forecasting methods. Would recommend for beginners.
After having been away from auditing for many years, this was an excellent refresher course.
I liked the way information was presented, with webcam to allow it to be more interesting. Slides contained useful information, easy to read.
Great class. Shared the 5 steps in dealing with people.
Another excellent course by Jeff Lenning. So many helpful functions and tips. I just hope I can remember them all. I would have like to seen more examples.
Ethics must be 'top of mind' for all employees. This course provides guidance to help make this so.
Helpful information on those pesky error messages that we tend to live with rather than fix.
very informational in a short amount of time. if you pause and work the examples with Blair, i think you can really learn a lot in a short amount of time.
Great real life examples to tie the material in with what we would really experience. The example where we had to think about what we would do kept the training interactive as you were listening for teachings that would support your decision.
The speakers talk a bit too fast at certain topic.
While I appreciated the course content, the course itself was slow paced. I would prefer faster pace.
What you would expect for a foundation level course. The questions proved to be a nice refresher.
Very thoughtful and articulate presentation of usable insights. The summary of a very difficult subject was well developed and the handouts are very useful.
Great test for practicing payroll accounting principles.
Part of slides/training discussed topics about law which I am unable to find relativity on the subject.
I felt like the final exam was too easy and the wrong answers were very obvious. Though it was good for me/my CPE credits, I don't think its an effective way to evaluate whether or not I understood the materials.
It is a very good course. I strongly recommend. It shows what CPAs need to know in business. Easy to understand.
Presentation was simple and clear. Easy to follow and understand. Useful for all levels of management.
This course is ok for HR professionals trying to learn basic accounting, not accountants trying to learn payroll accounting. Over half of the course was basic accounting.
The presenter lacks tone and speaks far too slowly to remain engaged. The presenter also reads the slides, providing very little additional insight.
Great material, effectively presented and well organized.
The speed of the presenter when talking was way too fast. We were learning about presenting to non financial managers and I could not keep up with the flow of information. Way too fast and way too much.
Good insight in personalities and leadership. Excellent explanations of human behavior
Very informative class on accounts payable and what they exactly do!!
Good course, working as accounts payable is always good to take this type of course.
This is an interesting and complex topic. I would have liked to see a longer, more indepth session.
I like how the visuals were done - not just reading but more interactive.
would have loved more examples especially on how fair value assessment.
Interesting take on ethics.
Was easy to understand and anyone would benefit from this course, not just accounting folks.
A useful refresher course for anyone with an accounting or finance background. It helped to pin down some of the basic points in preperation for more involved concepts.
1. In my opinion, accounting for liabilities/contingencies can be a very interesting one especially when compared to other accounting topics which are very dry. I feel the instructor could've added much more "flavor" to the class to make it more appealing. Also very monotone... 2. I did like that it covered a good number of examples (gift cards, warranties, etc).
The format for examples is helpful conceptually but difficult to read due to messy handwriting.
Very informative! Closing the month in just one day sounds impossible but will be fun to try!
There is no correct answer for question #3. Can you double check this?
Good to learn specially if you're into a lot of presentations.
This was a very good insight to the Fraud schemes, statistics and fraudster characteristics. I really learned a lot. Thank you!
Helpful intro - hard time hearing the audio at times.
I liked that we can keep the materials for review for a later date, and that it was properly broken up into sections.
Good content. Consider adjusting the audio to avoid impression of presenter yelling to the audience.
I think this course is very valuable in the workplace and will benefit people immensely.
There are no slides for this series that are needed for documentation purposes.
Great review. Covered a lot of points to remember and implement as needed.
Good job logically laying this out. The use of video to demonstrate the technique was excellent. The instructor would be easier to listen to if he didn't end every sentance with "right?"
Great instructor and delivery. Enjoyed the material and all examples.
great overview for non-sales tax experts. Great examples to support the rules.
The training was well organized and was probably the best Ethics course i have taken.
Harder to understand than i thought with my pivot experience.
It was a well though out. Well verse class. I am very familiar with the course material but it was still presented reasonably.
Good course for insomniacs. Presenter was boring.
Very concise and to the point information.
very informative and easy to follow
Interesting real life cases.
it was very helpful
A bit hard to follow in some places but overall, another very good presentation
Really great structure of what can sometimes become an emotionally charged conflict.
Excellent course for finance professionals.
Very conceptual, just what I needed to know for my business.
Great course and I learned so much. God bless. Mark Elders
A very interesting topic, another one they don't teach you in school.
Learned a lot on how to deal with difficult people.
It was helpful
Thanks Bro.
Good
Good information especially for someone new to accounting.
Very comprehensive and extremely thorough.
Awesome
Good refresher, meets the CPE requirement.
It's an interesting subject especially for young professionals. The exam was quite a challenge.
It is a little challenging to listen to this presenter. She seems very repetitive. I also was discouraged that every time she referred to a leadership position, she used the term "he."
It was very knowledgeable.
pretty good course, a little dry for my taste
Good overview of SEC Reporting
intesting
Nice
The training made me understand more of the client situation and effective ways to communicate with the customers. To address their disputes/queries efficiently.
great course
Content not related to test!!!
The class delivery was efficient and effective.
I liked the course it was very informative.
Great slides and easy to follow. Highly Recommend!
Excellent!
Very good. However, seemed a little off track at times.
Good recap of cash flows
Very helpful
good review material
Great class will implement the information on subtotal tomorrow will look for more of these
interesting info
This course covered some seemingly basic concepts that are huge time savers if you are unaware of them.
I appreciated that the course talked about CPAs in business not just in public accounting.
What about online identity theft companies? What do they do and are there worth the money? What are the steps to take if you have your identity stolen?
Very basic if you're a CPA.
I really enjoyed course. I would like to be able to see the correct answer for exam questions wrong.
I liked that I learned something
Very helpful and insightful; many of these characteristics we take for granted; it was great to see them presented.
Effective information that can be used in the workplace.
More information on analytics to identify misuse.
Great topic - great presenter
Questions are vague
Helpful
Thank you for the valuable course.
The presentation is very helpful.
People Management
I was surprised at how challenging this course was.
Excellent course
It is good to learn these useful knowledges
Test questions were not captured in the presentation materials.
Great course!
Great tips
Excellent Course!!
Overall discussion of contracts
Great material. Too fast to follow at times.
Good info
common sense
Bullet points - not the entire conversation or presentation - Please!!!!
Too many slides in the deck. Some of the color background slides do not have the proper contrast and are high to read. Course should be more than 1 CPE based on the amount of material.
ok
l like learn about this course and subject We will follow full courses for an intense love thank you very much
It would be better if the items were shown in motion (vs. the slide with numbers). Also the sound quality was a bit poor.
Ask the instructor a question about this lesson
