very good presentation and helpful and I agree that it will further help me in my work and upgrade my skills and knowledge

Enjoyed this course and the additional insights from the instructor. Very clear and concise concepts. Would highly recommend to organizations or individuals needing more insight to the "SOX World".

Course content was clearly presented. Reference materials effectively aided in understanding the content. Instructor was knowledgeable about the subject matter.

I have enjoyed so much this course, which I considered have an invaluable materials and knowledge to use as a permanent reference and to apply in SOX audit duties regularly. Thanks to Lynn for this magnificent and outstanding course because it will help me to achieve my professional goals in my Auditor career :)

Very informative course and great experience provided to learners

I enjoyed getting to now some of the automation areas that are being seen across SOX compliant companies.

I found the slides to be very interesting. Ms. Louis made the slides very engaging.

It is a very lengthy topic. I like it but it would be better if can have more detail of each subsection. Feel like it is not enough and wish to have more examples.

I have completed the course and have no further comments.

I liked how the course detailed and explained the traits and skills areas.

The course material explain the full scope of the IT and its relation to controls

Very nice summary Very nice summary Very nice summary Very nice summary

Amazing course! Very solid material to provide a broad understanding of how Fraud is managed according with SOX.

I liked the course because it introduces you to a short history of the regulations and how they developed over time.

I am a CPA, but have been performing non financial audits for the past decade. This course was a great refresher.

Jim has a great teaching style making it easy to grasp the key concepts for this course. This was a very good refresher for me. Thank you Jim!

I am very happy with the training I received in these modules. I also very much appreciate all the templates and documentation provided in the last module. I know that I will be referring back to this material often in the future.

Enjoyed the course which Is exactly what I was seeking to begin educating myself about SOX and how SOX relates to EA/IA. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Lynn!

A lot of material covered but nicely separated by topics.

This excellent course helps and encourages to use healthy scepticism to detect cash related fraud cases.

Material was a little hard to understand and retain. I would have liked more clarification

A helpful, tangible approach on the topic. Judgment and specific company factors play into a conclusion/position. The information within this webinar will be useful.

An excellent course on SOX Section 404! Perhaps a little discussion about what is meant by acceptable level" of risk and who determines it will surely be appreciated by those taking this course

Excellent course, the material and trainer were really clear even for those new in SOX world.

I learned a lot from this course and will highly recommend it!

The training videos was good and understandable. The PPT presented was clear .

These tools will provide assistance in the development and execution of SOX compliance procedures.

ExcelLent :) Well-structured and easy to study Text Based Course. Very useful supporting materials. Interesting info.

Dislike: The writing of the exam questions aren't as well written as the rest of the courses.

This a trending topic in current industries and gaining more focus for its use cases and utilization. The course provided a good introduction to this topic.

It was very well structured, well-paced and easy to follow training course. Structuring the course in segments as well as offering a continuous play option is perfect for any learning style. The examples given were good.

This is an excellent SOX topic that I have not previously seen covered before.

The learning activity was engaging and appropriate. It met my expectations.

Like in other webinars Lynn has, I loved how she goes deep in every slide using examples and/or making great observations for when you are in the process of RA. With that, you can see she is very knowledged in the subject she is teaching about.

The Course was very engaging and provided great examples of real life. The instructor is very enthusiastic and content is to the point.

The course is very informative and covers all necessary topics that are needed to be proficient in the Sarbanes Oxley. I highly recommend this course to individuals who wants to learn and understand SOX.

This was very helpful and I will definitely save these training materials if our department is ever called on to conduct an audit of the network. Currently we also have an Information Security team that is a second line of defense to our Internal Audit team.

the course was very insightful and its very applicable to my technology area of practice

I would have liked a deeper dive on the SOX Testing Process and IT sections. IT was very general and didn't give a lot of specifics or depth. The control testing didn't even mention IPE. Would have liked more guidance on testing specifics. The background, explanation of legislation, auditing standards, COSO, etc were very beneficial.

Objectives Met, Appropriate requirements, Activties completed

This is an excellent course from Lynn Fountain! The real-life scenarios and current event considerations bring life to the topic.

I enjoyed the examples given in this course. These examples helped to bring all of the concepts that I am learning in the certification together!

Very meaningful and informative course gives a very good understanding on standard evolution.

Great overview of COSO 2013 and how management is responsible for their internal controls.

The course was adequate but suggest you relook at the questions. The use of not in the questions is very confusing even for the most experienced person. Also your question in the final exam on incentives is poorly worded

Good refresher course to understand the concept of SOX

I am with a new company implementing a SOX program. While I had experience in SOX previous to this class, these lectures have provided new information, a great foundation, and good real world examples. I will likely be returning to the classes and handouts on a routine basis for guidance.

Very good course, Its good to have a one presentation rather than many

Very Informative. Comprehensive learning. Extensive material provided.

Excellent articulation of COSO 2013 principles that have provided better practical linkage. Only one improvement recommended is to include some more specific examples

Best point: understanding SEC vs PCAOB and AS2 to AS5

Thank you for another great course that introduced the connection of COSO 2013 and fraud.

The tools (resources, downloadable material) in this are incredibly valuable - a great conclusion for this certification program.

Excellent detailed evaluation of top down risk assessment for Sarbanes Oxley.

This was an excellent and engaging course. It gave a simple, but wholistic introduction to the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Looking forward to watching the remaining courses in the certification.

This was the best section in my opinion. It really pulled together the details of each area discussed! The samples and explanations were easily understandable. This section has me feeling more confident!

Your courses have all been so wonderful, so informational, and so thorough--in short, greatly appreciated by me! Thank you for sharing your expertise, your wealth of knowledge, your inclusion of examples! I have greatly enjoyed reading and listening to all of your lectures thus far.

Great course and very well prepared and explained.

A lot to digest! Terms are essential in understanding concepts.

LOTS of good information! So much actually that I am sure that I need to come back to these slides many times to really understand this thoroughly. There are so many things to be taken into consideration. Good templates and examples.

great course, easy to read and follow along the way the text is written

Overall course contained very good information and history behind the "why?" we do all the work we do

Thank you so much for this amazing course where I had the opportunity to learn so many interesting things that I will be able to apply in my daily routine.

Well detailed and properly explained concepts on fraud risk assessment. This is a good introduction into Fraud risk assessment and sets the expectations for beginners

i felt that the instructor gave her best effort to capture the new concepts of the standard.

Very helpful, however, too much theoretical information, years, reports

Excellent course with a strong presenter. A course for anyone who wants to understand and develop stronger more compelling presentations and how to deliver them.

Thanks for this in-depth course. The course material is rich and the delivery, very excellent.

This was a good course. well delivered. Good job .

This course provided great background information regarding the history and need for SOX. It also helps explain the key requirements of SOX currently.

Great addition to illumeo. Really helps keep up with the Ethics requirement in a timely manner.

This entire section is new to me and is very technical. This would be helpful if you need to understand the basics of XBRL.

Excellent full package on SOX and COSO principles with key template to implement process in the organization.

Good review course. This was a solid refresher for something I have been away from for some time.

Great coverage of topical area. I enjoyed the approach and would make this part of every professional's annual CPE.

This course was a little boring solely based on nature of material, good job by Lynn to present boring material

The final module in this marathon of a course - 17 courses yet it was very well delivered and comprehensive. Job well done as I learnt a lot.

Provides a good insight into section 404 requirements

The explanation is very clear, straight to the point.

Very good and simplified course. It serves as a good refresher for people practicing SOX and ICFR only daily basis but serves as a good basis for people just starting to learn SOX.

This SOX 404 section possess good controls information.

Overall good learning material. the XBRL vs SOX was really good learning in a way that shows link between them.

An important aspect that companies forget to look at because cyber attacks are seldomly experienced by them. Great refresher on how to react to cyber attacks

Simple and very usefulThe simplicity was surprising yet we overlook most of the tasks involved here

Audio makes it more easier. Text while good for a busy professionals having audio will be easier to follow

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

I have been working in the SOX/404 area of my internal audit department for a number of years and knew a lot of this at a certain (and varying) level/s - this course showed me where I need to focus more and filled in more gaps than I knew I had!

This course was excellent and provided important information that I will utilize in the future.

Excellent overview about temporary differences, very useful examples and exercises

Good, clear explanation of control activities with a more in-depth look at each principle and POF. The concepts are easy to understand with great examples provided.

this was alot of work but the slides and seminars made it much easier

This course provides a good overall view of what composes ethics and what influences it within an organization

I like how the instructor takes you through specific cycles to demonstrate proper SOD and problems if there is a lack of SOD.

This course emphasized the importance of corporate ethics and how it relates to each level of the organization. The course was very thorough on how to improve ethics and monitor the environment around you.

Great course specially regarding the differences between application controls and general controls.

Very good course, he takes you through every step beforehand, and then performs the steps after. Useful pro tips, I liked the part on how excel data is linked into Word, I used to do it a little differently and it was no where as good. Futher, the Microsoft Query as an alternative to links was quite useful as well....useful pro tips!

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.

This course is full of a lot of technical information. At times I found it hard to follow, but still finished having learned enough to have a reasonable understanding of the topic.

This is a great overview of XBRL - I found it very technical having not covered the topic before but still managed to understand enough to pass the test. Lynn's presentation was clear and demonstrated her expertise in this area.

Great information! Easy to understand and overall meaningful content....

This is the only course I have ever done on Illumeo that does not have a continuous playback option. The lack of this option combined with the bifurcation of the slides and the examples into a separate documents makes this course harder to follow that most other courses.

Good information, easy to understand. Overall enjoyed the whole course.

Short albeit good review of T&E expenses.

A very interesting topic, another one they don't teach you in school.

Very informative

Excellent overview!

Awesome

great overview

Excellent - gave me a good understanding of SOX by providing the history and timeline of the changes.

Excellent course

Did not like questions about Apple. Numbers not in front of me.

This is a great synopsis of the IPO process, including the key regulatory considerations and planning elements. I highly recommend this course.
