COSO 2013 Control Environment 1.5 CPE

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.

The course is well organized and easy to understand!

Great course on ethical and regulatory considerations for remote employees. This will interest you!

Focuses a lot on higher level IA positions, not necessarily the entire IA dept. as a whole.

Excellent course! I love how so much material is covered especially the case examples.

A great review of what communication really is. Highlights ideas that are not intuitively known.

Great course with good examples of important aspects of the profession and certification.

Exam was helpful in understanding the importance of a top-down risk assessment. Thank you.

Honestly, I got more out of watching Ted Talks and YouTube videos ...

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.

Informative, interesting and up-to-date. Useful for all employees, particularly for managers.

Concise review of journals, ledgers and GL. Good use of examples. The PDFs are extremely helpful as I listened to the recording.

Great course covering many important concepts and history behind evolution of current accounting standards

Good overview of 2023 fraud trends and beyond, how account takeover happens, including the detection and prevention strategies for account takeover.

Interesting and informative course with relevant information to understand the controllership function. Easy to follow and understand.

This is a very detailed and informative course and clearly set out the differences between both areas.

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!

Good overview of the basics of debits and credits and useful examples of trial balances.

Very comprehensive and helpful course I highly recommend it

I like the overarching subject matter of the course and especially the sections on SWOT

Your courses always provide helpful insight and practical tips.

Great! Thank you for another useful and interesting course. Awesome summary.

Very good introduction to the topic but old information. Looking forward more courses from the instructor but with updated content.

Great. Perfect. As usual. I really like this trainer. Clearly presented.

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

good overview of the different types of breaches and some history of breaches

Short but good overview over the general closing process.

Good course! Just the right amount of content, and also challenging. Would recommend this.

Material and review/exam content was not crisp and clear. Review question & answers were not accurate. Exam questions and answers were confusing and subjective.

This course provides a good foundation for understanding AS5 definitions of material weakness

I liked the presenters tone, word choice and rate at which she talked. It helped me to better follow along.

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.

This is a high-level overview of how to organize data analytics efforts and sell these services to the business.

Mr. Epstein is an excellent communicator and conveys the material in a very clear way.

I dont think you needed to get political with your exam question. Especially since its opinion. It seemed a bit unethical.

Very interesting study. Clearly stated and kept my interest

I appreciated the simple comparisons between ITGCs and application controls.

Good review of various types of audit reports that can be issued. However, this course did not cover the dating of the report or the auditor's responsibilities for reporting of subsequent events.

Excellent course!!!Stated learning objectives were met, stated prerequisite requirements were appropriate and sufficient and instructor was effective.

Two exam questions were super confusing. Not well written. #2 and #4, other than that, was an excellent course

This course provides a good understanding of fraudulent disbursements.

Course was well detailed and structured. Very informative on the subject matter.

This was a very confusing one. I finally passed when I answered one question which seemed again what the material and I understood. It was question six. I disagree that it should be answer A. A going concern is considered when a company has issues about going a year from the opinion letter date.

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

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

This course was well developed and well presented. Good coverage of the subject.

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.

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

One word- Interesting? This course is general motivational info, not necessarily related to COVID. There were a couple of good stories:)

It was great to review and/or learn anew these important topics.

Recommend Audit Engagement Planning as an excellent course.

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

Interesting content on how to capitalize assets, slides need more details on resourses.

Recommended for anyone who needs a refresher on auditing or anyone who is about to go through an audit!

Wendi did an excellent job designing this course as a intro to use of cloud services in a corporate environment.

This course helped me strengthen my understanding of IA fundamentals.

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

Clear and easy to digest information. Helps understand how some people get stuff done and others don't. Stepp explains this by incorporating personal experiences.

Great overview of cybersecurity. Linkage to NIST was clear. Slides were clear.

Good course. The course could be expanded to look at the culture in other countries in comparison to the required corporate culture and how to deal with the higher inherent risk of operating in high CPI countries.

The course is great for refreshing the skills in Pivot Tables. It is very informative and detailed. The presenter discusses the topic in a step-by-step procedure making it very clear and easy to understand.

Excellent course lead by an effective instructor. Great content.

CISA and CPA's would both benefit. I learned a lot about ERM and why it is very important for an organization.

very good high level information for lending business details

The material is useful but the instructor is monotone,which makes it difficult to stay engaged.

Great overview. Good explanation about different types of controls.

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.

Many supporting materials didn't open. Many supporting materials didn't open.

good refresher course for auditors who may not have manufacturing clients regularly

Overall great webinar. It would be helpful to reduce the number of abbreviations in the slides though.

Interesting course with a lot of good information.

Overall I liked this course. Im not involved with cash flow with my current job but it was a very informative course to take for someone like myself. I would recommend to anyone looking to gain a greater understanding of cash flow forecasting.

It is a very good course. I strongly recommend. It shows what CPAs need to know in business. Easy to understand.

great overview. educational Bruce obviously speaks from experience.

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!

GREAT synopsis for documenting internal controls. This course really refreshed some points that I am pursuing in my organization.

This course should be required viewing by anyone involved in risk or assurance functions!

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.

Good insight in personalities and leadership. Excellent explanations of human behavior

This is an interesting and complex topic. I would have liked to see a longer, more indepth session.

Great course that makes me want to read more about the topic.

The course is excellent, it adds a different perspective in the function of the CAE as part of the company.

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

This course covered various leadership style, with pros and cons for adopting/applying each style. However, adding to the slides the pictures of leaders ( who may or may not have demonstrated certain leadership style) was a distraction and minimized the course effectiveness. For example, was Princess Diana an inspiration leader? Perhaps not! Was Dr. King a non-authoritarian leader? Absolutely not!!! This course is about organizational leadership. Therefore, perhaps the author should use corporate leaders (past and present) and specific corporate examples to depict each leadership type AND to make the course stronger.

Very knowledgeable and informative, session details in elaborated manner about complete roles and responsibilities of IA function in an organisation

Great course. Good instructor. Would definitely recommend.

This was a good overview of the internal audit function, with all relevant parties and within the department.

Very well organized material presented in a very professional manner by a highly qualified instructor. Blend of humor along with the important information was a plus.

Very articulate, concise and insightful! I would recommend for anyone looking to improve their public presence.

A useful and technical course topic which was presented in a clear and concise manner.

Very informative course that I will definitely utilize in future audit engagements in my career.

Hits on all the basics! Good refresher course.

I really enjoyed learning about the different ways to collect, merge and validate data. I thought is was very interesting and useful to know that there is an excel add-in where you can get data from the Federal Reserve (Fred) as well as data from the U.S. Census, and Google Trends.

This was a good refresher course on CVP

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

Excellent course for finance professionals.

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

Very informative

I really appreciate the examples, thanks!

Presenter style is not very energetic.

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

Very comprehensive and extremely thorough.

Very informative!

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."

pretty good course, a little dry for my taste

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

liked the convenience; it was good information

I liked the course it was very informative.

Clear and concise - great examples provided. A great course for any experienced auditor.

Good introductory course to the topic

Excellent course

I liked that the instructor included a video of herself with the slides and she did not just read from the cards.

Very detailed and easy to follow.

great course

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

Good overview...

It was a very good course

Lots of helpful information.

Drag and drop. Task features and categories that interact with emails.

Good point

Good background on SEC

Excellent instruction and course. Very articulate, avoids technical language, good foundation.

Bullet points - not the entire conversation or presentation - Please!!!!

Excellent course.

Great instructor, great overview!

Very comprehensive presentation.

Done

Good overview of SOX 404. I found the information to be very useful.

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.

A quick refresher of excel tips that was definitely worth my time.

Very basic information. Good information for non-accountants

I like the self study ability of this course and the exam practice.

A nice over all review of the financial principals.

great overview.

The course was excellent. It met my expectations.

You will learn about how operating lines of credit works and what to watch out for. Very informative & reference material.

Well organized presentation of a very important topic

Excellent.

Every company out there should make the effort to do a Fraud Assessment as it is not a matter of IF Fraud will happen at your company - but when (or has it already happened?). Lynn provided a great background on what companies should do to get the ball rolling.

Great course. Too long for one hour of CPE credit, should be 1.5 hours.

A tough subject made much easier to comprehend through incremental learning and great real-life examples.

Again - great tools for improving Excel skills. I will use these a lot!

Good amimated speaker.

Good material with a knowledgeable instructor. Only critique would be to use specific examples from failures to demonstrate how the control environment was a major factor in the failure. I keep thinking about Andy Fastow from Enron.

Excellent summary of how Angles think and what motivates them to act

very usefull.Thank you !
