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.

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

Terrible quiz questions....wrong tenses and unprofessional grammar (E.g. "little white lies" and "cut it"). Also, thanks for the interesting but totally irrelevant adrenal system questions.

This instructor is always my favorite for Excel classes. His slides and presentations are excellent. It's a tad slow but the repetition makes the new formulas stick in my head.

The audio was very low in this course, it was hard to hear. I appreciated the negotiations portion of this course, it was very insightful.

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.

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

This course is a great introduction for Macro novices like myself. Notes from this course will serve as valuable reference material as I move on to more Macro classes.

Least favorite of my Illumeo courses thus far. Perhaps too much theory crammed into one hour with no practical examples or application discussed.

User Image

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

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

User Image

Much prefer video presentations. Case facts are much more obvious than typical fraud cases. CPA should never practice again demonstrating no knowledge and/or interest in identifying basis of fair financial presentation or uncovering significant issues with client financials.

User Image

The presenter lacks tone and speaks far too slowly to remain engaged. The presenter also reads the slides, providing very little additional insight.

This course is outdated, based on 2016 tax law.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

This is an excellent starter course to get anyone who is interested in the new revenue recognition standards, ASC 606, familiar with the new requirements. It breaks down the 5 step model and explains what is required for each step.

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot of new Excel tips! The excel worksheets were good to do along with the video. The quiz and final exam were not really related to the course material, but the questions weren't that difficult if you know how Excel works. I really enjoyed this course, and I have already implemented these tips into my daily work.

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.
