This was an interesting introductory course into powerBI and its uses

Very good concise synopsis of IT controls and their synergy with COSO.

Very beneficial and refreshes some of the details for my role being a second line of defense.

I found the course to be interesting and the exam to be challenging. The professor was fun to watch and I will look for other of her classes.

Lynn provided a great overview of the options for documenting controls, narratives or flow charts, as well as the key elements for developing the control documentation. This course would be very beneficial to accounting staff members to educate them on control development.

Hope you can add controls and process flows on investments and derivatives

I like this instructor's materials, they are well written and contain good information.

content was a little dry and the wording of the final exam questions was terrible...please get a 3rd party to review for clarity, consistency and understandability

The instructor was clear and offered practical applications of the controls. The reference materials were also helpful.

my score was 73% , this is not good enough, I need to study more.

Helps provide a quick guide to different leadership styles.

Rob does an outstanding job of effectively teaching the Key Performance Indicators and KPI Dashboards. The course was well-structured, providing a comprehensive understanding of KPIs and their critical role in measuring and driving business performance. The content was insightful and easy to follow, with a perfect blend of theory and practical examples. The section on creating KPI dashboards was particularly valuable, offering hands-on guidance on designing and implementing effective dashboards that provide real-time insights into business performance. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex concepts accessible and relevant. The interactive elements and practical exercises helped reinforce the learning and provided me with the confidence to apply these concepts to my own work. Overall, this course is a must for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of KPIs and enhance their ability to track and manage performance effectively. I highly recommend it!

Such a great course, and very useful tools! I would highly recommend it.

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

I think the instructor does a great job explaining the information and providing good examples.

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.

Interesting class. The final exam comes more from the class than the handouts, would like to see all material in a hand out for reference after the class.

Content and material was very sloppy. Overall the instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, however one of the key concepts of Mgmt Accounting is the usefulness and presentation of information and yet the information presented was poorly presented.

I really appreciate the CPE surrounding IT risks. Hoping to see more about OT risks in the future ... given IT/OT convergence (standards are: 62443, Purdue and cross-reference to NIST). I am an IT/OT Third Party Risk Manager, and my focus is Operations Tech (large manufacturing). Thank you!

Slides did not cover all necessary information for quiz.

The videos were okay, if you know nothing about technology. The questions were oddly worded and vague. To someone who has participated in an IT audit, they were confusing.

This course provided a thorough representation of Audit Planning. Well done!

the Excellent learning experience.

it really helpful to improve our awareness of security.

It was really good knowledge on knowing about the process and software applications in Information Technology

Valuable and practical insights into key considerations for every internal audit function.

Good course. Explained very well. I like the explanation of each topic in so easy way that it is understood to everyone. Thank you for this effort.

The training was very monotonous. May be including some real life examples with question/answer in between would help.

Great introductory course. I liked that the content was not too overwhelming volume wise for the time of the lecture.

The sound quality (changing volumes, frequently clearing throat) detracted greatly from the learning experience.

This was an excellent course because it provided tactical ways to implement the information provided.

Very Educative about internal controls. Got to learn about COSO.

The course is very useful for those risk management professionals who need to rethink their organizational planning efforts.

Enter a short review and let others know about this Course.

provided good information in a platform to engage the parties taking the course. Provided helpful ideas and processes..

I learned a ton from this course on the importance of financial controls as it pertains to SOX

Material not specific enough in terms of definitions and concepts.

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 gave me the understanding of ITs role in KSOX and the processes that need to be put in place all through the cycle

It was very interesting course. It made me feel how important to build confidence and trust in an organization.

Lengthy but informative. Could be simplified further or make it easier to relate to.

Well explained and more interesting than I expected

Good informative course and liked the concept of the instructor explaining all concepts in detail.

Very helpful even for frequent career excel users.

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

Like everything. Very informative videos. Easy to understand and learn. Truly appreciate the tutor.

This was most difficult course I have ever taken for a company. it was hard to focus in on the questions that might be asked during the final exam because of how much content is covered in the videos.

This course helped me understand the financial impact of IT changes and and how to allign with KSOX controls.

great material for learning or keep current with SOX as well as getting CPE credits.

Content in the course is very informative. It covered all aspects of SOX.

It's Good to learn about the systems which we work on daily basis

Great course to understand KSOX process. This will help us to support the KSOX audit process to evaluate current system falls under KSOX control or not and remediate missing controls.

Concepts should be more simplified. Found little vague to understand

The course is a very useful and good experience for understanding the SOX

The course was complete and efficient. The presenter was extremely bland, not a good fit to lecturing.

content was adequate for the topics pertaining to SOX compliance. Dividing into separate topics is a good idea.

This is a course that provides helpful knowledge for big data analytics and its potential uses in the business and accounting worlds.

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.

Great course! A very thorough review of internal controls that was easy to understand.

It was good course with lot of clarity, information and simple language for lay man to understand the SOX.

great course and lynn explained the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) - Information Technology Controls in a very detailed way

This is very informative. All IT staff must go thru this training.

It is my first class for SOX. Lynn did great job by presenting clear distinctions between different areas/terms and straightforward examples. While, by no means, I understand all materials presented here 100% (I need to review a few more times in order to digest completely to be honest), thank you for widening my views & knowledge.

I wish the course had some interactions with the information throughout the course. Short quizzes or question/answer type interactions would break up the lecture and keep listeners motivated.

Better narration of lesson and better graphics to help students retain the information

All information was good and relevant. I suggest starting off with a humorous slide (if this allowed) to help set a positive tone from the beginning.

Material was fine. Since the course is a bit long and staff may need to take it in sections, I would just suggest mini quiz (just a couple of questions after each couple of section). I did take the review questions up front to gauge where I needed to focus the most in the training. Most people in our company do not have auditing, or sox in their toolkit.

LOVE this class. Jeff explains some great concepts in clear, easy to follow language. It's great that he does it on the screen as he explains it.

this was so hard for me because I'm not in IT. Thanks for experience.

The course was very well formatted and easily absorbed for the student, could have been more visual

I liked how the instructor was clear and easy to understand the concerts she was explaining

Great material, but having to read the document rather than click through course wasn't great for me.

Very informative. I would highly recommend this course for non-auditors.

This course was a bit difficult due to lack of previous knowledge and reading through the course materials instead of instructed lead. Overall, the course was very educational.

Clear and concise information, well organized and with good real life examples provided throughout the sessions. Logical order and nicely broken down by topic.

Contains some helpful information when trying to schedule time with management

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

"How should the control environment be viewed by organizations?" <--Based on the expected answer, this question is written extremely poorly & is misleading.

Great deal of practical solutions to enhancing executive presence. Solid examples by the instructors.

Instructor was knowledgeable on the subject. I think this was a good overview but content could be updated, as the importance of IT controls is increasing in our highly-automated world. I think "real world" examples would make the course more relatable and interesting.

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

Simple, concise, and easy-to-understand summary of segment reporting.

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

KPI section could be more informative in measuring how effective your profile is.

Great course that explains how to use email professionally in today's context.

Very detailed and through SOD examples and controls at the right audience level.

good process close info and helpful for giving things to think about

Very interesting study. Clearly stated and kept my interest

Very comprehensive; great refresher course for me!

I liked this course as I found that it was very informative and a great refresher on all the many methods and ways in which fraud can occur and be prevented as well.

Course was well done. May want to update to reflect learnings from pandemic.

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.

Gave a good overview of SOX related to ITGC. Would have like to gone into more detail on application controls. Overall, good course.

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

It was very interesting to get perspective from someone who has worked in both external and internal audit. This was a great refresher on what goes into consideration when issuing an audit opinion.

The course was very good and I got a lot out of it; however, the microphone was very distracting. It was not sitting in a good place and would make a noise every time the instructor moved.

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

Good introduction to TPA for our foreign sub. Gives guidance on where to find more detailed information for specific countries.

questions at end didn't well match topics covered in the course.

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

The course is well structured and detailed. The one thing I like about online learning is how convenient it is. I can keep learning as long as I have a device with me. I really enjoyed this class and the format it was presented in. For me, I learn and retain much. I was surprised about how much information I learned about the course.

It was a good course for basic auditing of Active Directory.

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

The presenter provides plenty of relevant insights on fraud evaluations in a very clear and concise manner

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.

I have to admit that I gave up on watching the video within 20 minutes because of the background music...it's really annoying.

Great course on Cyber Security! I highly recommend this course to business professionals looking to get an overview on the cyber security process.

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

I like the overall pace of the course & clarity of key concepts presented.

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

One of the presentation sections was not included, but rather a repeat presentation of the previous section.

Great course of audit committee effectiveness in the aftermath of 2007

Great content! I really learned a lot about how to apply Excel functions to financial planning & analysis.

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

Good course on IT general controls and distinction between general controls and application controls

Excellent advice and insights. I highly recommend for any finance/accounting leader.

Overall great course! I do not have any feedback on how to improve the quality of this course. I thought for an intro course to Yellow Book, the basics were covered effectively.

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

This is a great course for understanding the various components of the Balance Sheet!

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.

Recommend Audit Engagement Planning as an excellent course.

This instructor courses are always very helpful and are well thought out. I always look for her courses on-line as I always learn something new and interesting from her classes.

This was both relatable and informative. Definitely worth the time.

Provides a good insight into section 404 requirements

The explanation is very clear, straight to the point.

Interesting content, very useful. Plan to implement with staff

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.

I liked the overall review of the different controls. I would not have mind the course moving at a quicker pace.

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.

The course provides a lot of history and information on SEC and PCAOB. I personally believe the course can be more concise.

I thought the course was very helpful. It is well laid out and a lot of good guidance on building overall communication at an executive level.

outdated with 2013 data - don't think FCPA enforcement has increased under Trump

Everything is making sense but I guess what I'm struggling with is how to identify the "differences" between ASC 606 vs previous version. I felt like all the things that you said existed before. I was wondering if there is a summary/table available where I can clearly see the difference in transaction treatment between ASC 606 and the old version.

good review, nice to be back to this online trainings

Very well presented. Easy to understand and follow.

Interesting course, worth enrolling even though CPE credit not available!

This SOX 404 section possess good controls information.

This course helped me strengthen my understanding of IA fundamentals.

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

2014 means data and SEC actions are a bit out of date

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

Would help to break down example calcs step by step

The material was well organized and easy to understand. this is a great way of completing credits needed for CPE.

Very insightful with some very useful sources of additional information that will come in handy.

Great concise course over protection techniques / controls for Cyber relate risks. I would recommend this course to an entry level IT Audit associate.

good course with good examples listed throughout the course

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

Great overview. Good explanation about different types of controls.

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

I highly recommend this course to anyone working in accounting. The class material is filled with lots of examples. Great class.

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

Great review of preparing indirect cash flow statement.

The course was very insightful. I will be taking more of these sox related exams.

Includes fraud not just by employee but also by customer. Includes not just cash but also effect on inventory. A good case for decreasing cash transactions.

I was not familiar with XBRL, so this course was very helpful.

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.

The lecturer gives a very clear lecture. Very well organized material presented. Great exercises to understand ethics.

Great overview and detailed account of the information.

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.

Too simple. I learned this as a sophomore in college - not necessary once you are a CPA.

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

Lynn Fountain's webinars are concise and thorough. Anyone without experience would get a clear understanding of the subject matter and what's required.

There are no slides for this series that are needed for documentation purposes.

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

This course is very useful, but difficult to focus on.

Learned some very useful tips

Interesting real life cases.

Hits on all the basics! Good refresher course.

Short albeit good review of T&E expenses.

Great course in understanding the IT and Finance relationship.

Some more error rectification technique may be included in this course.

Great course! I really enjoyed it.

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

Very informative

I would have liked to have more examples and some of the stuff was same as covered in part 1.

Excellent, great summary

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

Great introduction to IS Auditing and it's roles/responsibilities.

I liked that he gave specific rules and guidelines to making a PowerPoint. I think there is more I could learn in this department. The best tool I will take away from this webinar is the 8H Rule.

I liked how he described the materials and helped to explain how non-Financial Managers view this type of data

good review material

I liked the use of real life scenarios to illustrate how revenue accounting can impact the business.

.

Fun and revelating

Excellent course

Good details

Good refresher on SEC Reporting and structure of reports

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