This was a great short course on 350-40. I would love to course that compared and contrasted the accounting rules for 730-10, 985-20 and 350-40.

Of the many, many courses I have taken on the Illumeo platform, this was definitely one of the best and most insightful. I have always found elements of "behavioral finance" to be fascinating and powerful in planning, strategy, and business performance. Mr. Stephens has bundled the leading theories and presented them as a unified new "dimension" for planners and leaders to factor in. He has done so in a manner that CFO's and other business leaders will undoubtedly find easy to digest, replete with useful examples. The consideration of these concepts will undoubtedly add value via improvement decision-making and more enlightened risk assessments. Thank you for such a quality contribution to the Illumeo portfolio!!

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.

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.

The title is misleading, I thought the instructor was going to talk more about the concern of the CFO in running the organization, new technology adoption etc.

Materials need some improvement. They are just bullet points without any context. That's good for normal presentations, but won't be useful if trying to use as a guide later on when the information is not fresh in our minds.

This course would be much more effective if all of the files were provided and the student was able to follow along and complete each of the functions being taught.

Material was well organized, insightful and helpful. At some points the presenter seems to get in a hurry and falls into speed-reading the script, making it a little hard to follow, but overall a good course and I recommend it for the toolbox.
