This was an interesting introductory course into powerBI and its uses
Exactly as advertised, an introduction to NFP accouinting. As a new board member of an NFP, I found this very helpful. Thank you.
I was interested in internal controls and this course gave me the information regarding them that i was seeking, so i liked it a lot
Great course, great job, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
This text based course was very detailed and provided good examples of real world application
Excellent class that contained very relevant 'real world' examples.
Great introduction to bookkeeping. I would highly recommend.
It's in a very high level . The slides are good but very difficult to understand for ppl without accounting background.
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.
Excellent refresher course and reference for future use. Instructor and materials are also excellent.
lot of great information but it comes at you very quickly
The class was presented in a perfect pace for my learning style. The slides are easy to follow and great for future reference.
Excellent! This will lead better comunication. White spaces are realy an important.
I like the overarching subject matter of the course and especially the sections on SWOT
Good material and overview of SAAS metrics. Sound was a little low could be increased but otherwise good
I really had a hard time with some of the exam questions - they seemed ambiguous and unclear.
Some problematic statements on gender and gender norms.
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
Instructor was clear and easy to follow. I look forward to getting to use the information I have learned in my future networking opportunities.
It was great to review and/or learn anew these important topics.
Generally good advices and I hope the course can add more real life examples to support the theoretical system.
This was a great way to learn how to receive recommendations on Linked In. This should go a long way in personal marketing for me and my brand.
Great information and very useful! I learned a lot of tips in planning.
An exceptionally well-thought-out agenda for this session.
Interesting course, worth enrolling even though CPE credit not available!
Good written material and fair questions on the exam.
This course was difficult to follow for those without a background in data analytics. It would be nice to be able to watch the instructor perform the tasks.
Comprehensive, informative and well delivered course.
It would be helpful to have screenshots or a video of the instructor working through the exercise.
Very informative and relate-able. Speaker was great as well.
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.
Helpful information on those pesky error messages that we tend to live with rather than fix.
The course was short, simple and straight to the point.
Least favorite of my Illumeo courses thus far. Perhaps too much theory crammed into one hour with no practical examples or application discussed.
While I appreciated the course content, the course itself was slow paced. I would prefer faster pace.
Overall great webinar. It would be helpful to reduce the number of abbreviations in the slides though.
What you would expect for a foundation level course. The questions proved to be a nice refresher.
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.
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 a very good course. It lays the foundation on becoming an inspirational leader.
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.
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.
The instructor was very clear. The material taught is a great foundation in understanding acceptable/unacceptable ethical behavior in public accounting.
Very concise and to the point information.
Short albeit good review of T&E expenses.
good general information
Talks very slow
Some more error rectification technique may be included in this course.
Overall, a very informative presentation. However, this material could have been condensed in 45 min. A lot of repetition.
Very good refreshed course for financial ratios and good to learn about the qualitative factors which should be considered for ratio analysis.
Very good and thorough introduction to the subject matter
Very informative.
Excellent - gave me a good understanding of SOX by providing the history and timeline of the changes.
intesting
It would be helpful if there were review slides.
Good overview.
Great class will implement the information on subtotal tomorrow will look for more of these
I appreciated that the course talked about CPAs in business not just in public accounting.
Very professionally done!
Excellent course
Great course!
A bit dry but did have some useful material.
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.
Very informative! Great resources, tools and presentation.
Nice course
The course is too basic for a CPA.
Great example, easy to follow
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
Straightforward and easy to understand course content.
VALUABLE information for both coaches and those being coached. This can be reciprocal information and provide a more open understanding of our leaders and their approach.
Very informative
You will learn about how operating lines of credit works and what to watch out for. Very informative & reference material.
Expert instructor with excellent presentation flow and engaging style.
Excellent review material. Thoroughly explained and easily understood.
Very detailed explanations.
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.
Good amimated speaker.
