The Mechanics, Basics and Theory of Accounting 2 CPE

Excellent explanation of the Statement of Cash Flows. Highlights the important aspects of understanding Free Cash Flow. I found this very educational, good refresher!

Jeff's technique is very well done and easy to follow. It is a great review and provides good examples that can be used day-to-day. Great Job!

The course was very informative and interesting. The skills to be involved with the Internal Audit function are both technical and interpersonal. As we work towards this function, it is difficult to find staff with the right skill set. The instructor was very good and understandable.

Great course, very helpful information to better understand tax forms.

Very informative. Lots of information at a solid pace. Instructor was very knowledgeable and touched on a lot of real life examples.

Great course - would highly recommend for anyone interested in topic.

This course was an interesting overview of ChatGPT geared for the accountant who is technologically averse, helping them see the value in utilizing ChatGPT in their work. The presenter goes to great lengths to demonstrate the power and transformative potential of the tool. I felt like he could have spent more time with accounting/auditing-specific applications rather than so much time on the history and broader applications. The course also already feels outdated in some ways with how quickly the AI landscape has shifted since it was originally published. It was particularly noteworthy in the artwork used throughout the course, clearly AI-generated; AI artwork is now much more robust without all the limitations and errors exhibited by the earlier models.

A good nuts and bolts review of the accounting process.

This class gets into the details of short-term rentals. There was more to it than initially thought.

This course was pretty straightforward and easy to follow. This was the first text-based course Ive done. The test questions corresponded well to the text.

Excellent course! This course provided a solid overview of the appropriate ethical standards of the accounting profession. The lesson demonstrated possible real-life scenarios that today's CPA may encounter and outlined the necessary steps to apply to in such cases to uphold the high ethical standards of the profession.

I found the personality style quadrant very helpful in understanding my need for flexibility and learning "how to read the room." Much more flexibility compared to Myers-Briggs. I particularly appreciated the instructor's perspectives on how we can adapt our behaviors to work effectively work with counterparts who demonstrate different styles.

Very detailed course that covers all of the important information about each status and good advice

This was a very informative course and enjoyed the instructor presentation and knowledge. I dont have no background in this area, however I wanted to get exposure and was surprised to see so much information on the subject matter. Will take additional courses with this instructor.

Very long Webinar. At times I found that it was easy to get lost in the details of estate tax and thus difficult in getting an overall broad understanding of estate taxes as a whole. But other than that I did enjoy how informative it was.

Enjoyed this course on the GAAP presentation of the financial statements. Was good to refresh myself on it and see some of the standards.

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.

Great examples. I had no idea how cunning some folks could be on devising ways to scam the goverment, either as an employee, officer or contractor.

This was an excellent course and I felt like it provided a guidebook for necessary courses of action and reminders for those trying to ascend in his/her careers.

I overall really enjoyed this course on Future of Internal Audit by Lynn Fountain. As an auditor during 2020 and 2022, the course was overall pretty straightforward but interesting to see the comparisons made from that to 2025.

In the final exam, question no 2 should be corrected by removing NOT from the question.

This was a helpful review. Thank you for the informational resources.

Good course on some interesting subject matter. I again liked this instructor.

Good course explaining how account takeovers can occur and ways individuals and businesses can protect themselves.

It was packed with detailed information with great structure!

Very informative and helpful refresher course. Some questions on the exam portion were worded a bit confusing, but overall it was great

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

Very clear explanations and examples of Ethics vs Morality vs the Law. Also, how we operate within each. Lynn gave a thorough and thoughtful presentation. I always enjoy and learn from her training.

Lot of unnecessary politics in this course. Ethics is something that doesn't need to be politicized. It detracts from the arguments.

"I enjoyed this course a lot, great learning tools and it helped me a lot. I really appreciated the experience and I liked the method of presentation. Thanks!"

Good review of less traditional balance sheet accounts and accounting.

This was an excellent overview of the budget process in review. It is not a detailed budget process but it is sufficient to outline the major points.

I like to read the slide decks in the pdf format. The pdfs for this course were not sufficient to learn the content.

Easy and informative course. Most of the information wasnt new but it was a good reminder for me. I would recommend to everyone who has to interact with others.

This was a great review of the Budget process for a financial executive. The terminology and explanations were easy to understand and follow. The outline was well organized and flowed just like a good budget should

Course covered the topics stated. Was nice that it is broken down into a multi-part series so it is not too much info at one time.

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!

Course was easy to follow and informative on the closing process for a company to be able to prepare financial statements that are correct.

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.

Much of this material was also covered in the individual topics from the same instructor. I wish I had done this one first, as I would have skipped some of the others.

Good instructor and very informative. Gives a good overview of what should be considered.

This was a very thorough yet straightforward introduction to higher-level Excel concepts. The course will only give a basic understanding of using tools like Power Query and VBA Macros, so further courses should be explored to gain more proficiency in these areas.

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.

Extremely thorough presentation encompassed in the gradual addition of detail to each slide.

The example and explanation were relevant to real life.

I felt like it could have been covered in a shorter presentation.

Great course very informative. I like the instructors communicative style and presence in the learning materials

Lots of good current information. Just wish recordings werent a little more interesting and less like reading straight from text.

This training was well done. However, the topic was a bit over my head. I am glad I took this course so I can become better versed in this topic.

More than half the class was devoted discussing the economy. While this is interesting, it seems more of the class should have been devoted to the accounting updates and the ramifications of those items. Most of the information that we got regarding the updates was a laundry list of the items with no meaningful discussions of those items.

This course was excellent, I send a large number of emails and I learned a lot of tips.

Excellent! This will lead better comunication. White spaces are realy an important.

Very thorough and great course, perfect way to meet the Oregon Ethics requirement. Adam was a great instructor

This course was very informative and gives interesting perspectives for anyone who pays taxes.

This instructor is very easy to listen to! She does a great job of making the information relevant and digestable.

This course is a good overview of professional ethics for MD CPAs

This was an eye opening experience. I think everyone thinks planning and goal setting is a waste of time. And now I've learned that those people, myself included, have been living in the present by focusing on just getting going on something, with no real clear goal, in mind. I need to set aside some time no matter what and really plan out any goal I set out to accomplish. It's easy to think you will be able to come up with a plan on the way, but that was my naive thinking.

This was a helpful course, however, I would note that this course does not go into detail about how to implement controls. It would have also been helpful if we had reviewed the 17 COSO principles that she mentioned. It is a good primer to IC, however.

This was a great course that helped me to review non-profit entities and compliance with rules and regulations.

Good overview, would love a follow-up course that dives even deeper on deal killers.

Material not specific enough in terms of definitions and concepts.

This was an informative course but I had trouble following along because I couldn't find all the worksheets in the Supporting Materials

Good in-depth information regarding financial statements and some more difficult areas to understand, such as change in accounting principal, liquidation basis, and discontinued operations. Information is further supported by using clear examples and additional support straight from the codification and a reputable public accounting firm.

Enjoyed the course. Would like to listen to a longer version that goes into more detail on closing specific areas such as revenue.

Excellent speaker who is clear, concise, and gave relevant examples that supplemented the course theories.

very useful guide to help with mapping your career and being successful. Lots of common sense that merits periodic review as it's easy to get stuck in ruts.

Simple and easy to follow. Would like to have seen more examples to increase my understanding of the materials presented.

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

The material was pretty informative, but the delivery was very dry.

Great review of the basics! Great questions in the review and final exam!

This course provided a good summary of how to facilitate presentations or group conversations.

There were so many grammatical and spelling mistakes in the final exam and throughout the slides, I am shocked. The ideas were also incredibly outdated and there is a strong bias throughout.

Great teacher! I like how he thoroughly explains each point/topic.

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
