Auditing Financial Statements Part III: Internal Controls and Fraud Controls 1 CPE

Liked very much the topic to my next interviewer process. Thanks!

happy to pass the exam at one time, Great and thanks you.

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

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 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.

I believe that there is some audio repetition about half way through. Great course, might just want to take a look at that.

The course is well organized and easy to understand!

A wonderful summary of key concepts of AI and machine-learning. Excellent material.

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

Love Blair's webinars! Definitely wish there were more available on Illumeo. He is one of my facotire presenters!

This course was a good refresher. This course is ideal for people not as familiar with accounting. Thank you.

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.

This was a great course to introduce me to features of excel that I have never used to give me a great understanding of how they might be used in practical everyday applications of Excel.

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

Detailed and informative course with plenty of examples to illustrate application of laws into practice.

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

This course provides some great information. The topics covered are very helpful as well.

Excellent course for anyway that want to improve or develop a leadership role.

Very helpful. Will likely watch again and take notes - some good tips in how to do things more efficiently and make the presentation look more ptofessional in Powerpoint

Thank you for providing an informative opportunity to complete my ethics cpe requirement.

This is a really good informative course--thanks for putting it together.

Good overview and introduction in the terms of fraud, comprehensive slides

Great course on the basics of professional skepticism, an invaluable trait to have as a member of any engagement team. Even after transitioning into an industry position, this remains an area of heightened importance and this course has reaffirmed my commitment to high integrity.

Might be nice if there were more theory vs straight up calculations.

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

Material not specific enough in terms of definitions and concepts.

The instructor provided very helpful information. He is very clear and easy to follow. The samples are practical.

Great way to ground myself in the basics and refresh/sharpen my skills.

Concise content and very helpful considering the global business environment and impact of digitalization driving the increase in fraud incidents.

I've used pivot tables for a long time and didn't realize that the calculated field and calculated item functions existed. Will be very beneficial going forward.

Appreciate the way it was very much helpful to me, thought me well.

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

Highly effective examples incorporated into the course.

Excellent discussion and presentation of ethics for organizations!

informational training on construction accounting and ASC 606

Jennifer speaks very clearly, which makes it easier to understand. This course covered a lot of ground.

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

Basic concepts are explained for beginners and easy to undetstand.

A good course and easy to understand, organizations should focus on continous improvement.

Very interesting study. Clearly stated and kept my interest

Good course overall. The instructor is knowledgeable and interactive, but it was hard to follow and keep up at times because the instructor went a little too fast and used too many technical terms.

If you want a good refresher or overview of ASC 606, this course provides that. If you wanted answers on how COVID impacts the application of ASC 606, this course is good at identifying questions to consider but leave many questions unanswered.

Very informative course that will definitely assist in the audit field. Highly recommend it.

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.

This course is relatively political for accounting and finance professionals. Giving a few examples of politicians or politically linked business leaders isn't necessarily the best way to present ethical issues. Climate change also isn't necessarily an imminent concern for accounting and finance professionals.

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

Great overall course. Enjoyed the examples of what auditors look for and how they manage risk and where they will be looking. Wish it was more in depth regarding the financials but great handle of the subject matter.

I appreciate all of the practice. Lot's of problems help to develop proficiency at speed.

High level overview which is good, but I would appreciate accounting courses that were more detail. Illumeo appears to be lacking in government accounting courses.

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

Love this course! The two instructors gave a solid overview on how to act and become an executive with plenty of easy action items. The video and instructors were very engaging and I was happy to watch the video the whole time. Highly recommend!

This is one of the most useful courses I have ever taken. Thank you for the helpful fixes to so many of the common problems we face in managing our inboxes.

Good examples were given. This is somewhat a difficult concept, but the presentation made it easy to follow

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

Good overview. Good coverage of topics on the asset and liability side.

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

The course overall is great! You even walk away with a few useful macros and definitely a better understanding of how to apply VBA to your everyday life.

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

Very useful as a practical guide and as a historical perspective (I was very involved with SOX work from the beginning until 2011, when my employer got bought by a European company).

well thought out and acceptable for cpe review purposes

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.

Great Course I think we need more documentation.

Very well spoken and concise summary of the major updates

good review and ideas for any manager. Thanks for the ideas

After having been away from auditing for many years, this was an excellent refresher course.

Interesting course and practical knowledge for dealing with cash controls.

The information was informative and gave a good overview of forensic accounting. Also, the instructor made it very easy to follow and understand the topics.

The material is excellent but the instructor is monotone and simply reads the slides. The material is relevant and up to date but do what you have to so you can stay awake!

Great refresh on statements of cash flows. Good to review for the differences between direct and indirect methods if you are used to use one more consistently.

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

While I appreciated the course content, the course itself was slow paced. I would prefer faster pace.

This was well detailed while providing very efficient timely lessons of the general topic.

What you would expect for a foundation level course. The questions proved to be a nice refresher.

Very thoughtful and articulate presentation of usable insights. The summary of a very difficult subject was well developed and the handouts are very useful.

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.

Great refresher on basic accounting topics. The materials were easy to follow, and navigate.

great overview. educational Bruce obviously speaks from experience.

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

Well-organized. Very helpful for anyone teaching financial accounting.

The course was easy to read and understand which lead to passing the final exam.

This course is outdated, based on 2016 tax law. It is completely irrelevant in 2018/2019. It needs to be updated.

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

Ok program, doesn't fully address the fraud aspect from a practical standpoint.

I found this course to be very well presented with clear action items that I am excited to start implementing!

This was a good overview to understanding BI and offered basic tools to implement.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor

good overview, however was looking for specific examples with mathematical calculations

This came pretty easy to me, as I'm a CPA by license, but layman at heart.

Thank you for the Study guide excel file it helped a lot-. Pace and articulation was awesome!

This one and the predecessor were both great courses and will be put to use.

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.

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

Comprehensive overview with detailed steps to a good fraud mitigation program. Instructor laid out what was to be covered and then covered it.

Great review. Covered a lot of points to remember and implement as needed.

The instructor gives me much to think about. There is so much in here that I think many aren't willing to say even though we know it to be true. There are many politics involved in the workplace. It is unfortunate, but reality, and he helps you to work through this unfortunate reality.

If I could have given 6 stars, it mightn't have been enough. He provided a very practical roadway to finance excellence. Great enthusiastic and knowledgeable presenter.

good reminders and review of how to best represent data in powerpoint

Very informative and detailed. Highly recommended.

nothing to add good course on financial information that is useful in conversation

Very thorough and valuable information. I noticed after I was part way into the course that the copyright mark is 2015 so I wonder what's different in 2017? I'll have to look into it....

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

This is a great course in terms of the material but everything felt rushed.

Great overall review! very clear and concise. highly recommend to a new person or to someone who has been away from accounting for a while.

Acceptable for a general quick overview, but not useful to assist in implementation of any of the concepts.

Harder to understand than i thought with my pivot experience.

It was a well though out. Well verse class. I am very familiar with the course material but it was still presented reasonably.

A lot covered in a short period of time, which I like!

like this class a lot

Very Complex. Should have shown how the present values were calculated

Quick and easy to understand overview

Hits on all the basics! Good refresher course.

Great Course

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

very good

ok

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

Instructor was easy to understand and provided good examples in the presentation. The handouts and materials were very helpful learning tools also.

Very informative

I really appreciate the examples, thanks!

Good overview of SEC Reporting

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

liked the convenience; it was good information

The class delivery was efficient and effective.

It's a Good Course, but I thought It would have a higher level.

I would like to know what I got right and wrong on the exam.

Now I use the sub total function.

good review material

Great class will implement the information on subtotal tomorrow will look for more of these

Nice course, very clear for the first approach to CVP and Break-even analysis

I really enjoyed course. I would like to be able to see the correct answer for exam questions wrong.

I liked that I learned something

Bud is simply an excellent teacher. Terrific content and he leads with a passion for what he is teaching.

More information on analytics to identify misuse.

Good finance intro

People Management

Excellent course

Enjoyed it.

Good description of the audit and report

Test questions were not captured in the presentation materials.

very goo course

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

Good overview...

Good course on Auditing Cycles and Audit Completion

Good point

excellent refresher

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

A very informative course, full of useful examples, very well presented, and make a complicated topic quite easy. Thank you.

I have listened to may instructors in my CPA CPE quest, this go round. There were several very good courses and presentations available, but Mr. Cook is the most captivating liveliest and most knowledgeable in the of all I have heard. Dennis Callahan, MBA, CPA

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

Great instructor, great overview!

Done

I really like Lynn's systematic explanations, as she explores every facet of every skill needed in today's internal auditor.

ok

As is true for his other sessions, this has a tremendous amount of material which can be somewhat overwhelming. Good stuff, though.

l like learn about this course and subject We will follow full courses for an intense love thank you very much

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