Excel Efficiency: Pivot Tables 2 CPE

The course did a nice job and explained important, relevant information in a manageable and easy-to- digest manner.

The examples would be better if written out. It is hard to catch by just listening.

This class gets into the details of short-term rentals. There was more to it than initially thought.

This course was pretty straightforward and easy to follow. This was the first text-based course Ive done. The test questions corresponded well to the text.

Informative course, very well organized and presented.

This is really a refresher course where Lenny reviews prior courses but he puts it all together, showing how various features can be utilized to build a robust dashboard.

I've been using pivot tables for years and still picked up a few helpful hints in this lesson. This is a very useful session for any user.

there was an extensive amount of material to learn and understand. Maybe do more explanations and less amount of concepts.

Detailed explanations of accounts payable control concepts and procedures. The text-book is easy to follow. I can apply some of the internal controls to work.

This was an excellent course and I felt like it provided a guidebook for necessary courses of action and reminders for those trying to ascend in his/her careers.

Great review of budgeting topics with some new information I hadn't heard of. Will refer to this content again.

Great course. Went by quickly and had a lot of useful information.

Good course for an overview to forensic accounting and document review. Lynn Fountain is always a good facilitator.

This was a helpful review. Thank you for the informational resources.

Great overview on ASC 606 and the transition into following the guidance. Its always good to have a refresher to ensure i have a proper understanding.

very good introduction to power query. have not used this function in excel and found it very interesting

It was packed with detailed information with great structure!

Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect costs incurred in the production process that cannot be directly attributed to specific products. These costs include expenses such as factory rent, utilities, equipment maintenance, depreciation, supervision, and administrative costs.

Very helpful course as I WAS a former bullet queen.

Good Overview of RR. I would recommend it for someone who wants a good general overview of the standard. The slides are relevant and to the point.

Interesting course with great Cases to add understanding. Great presentation.

Very clear explanations and examples of Ethics vs Morality vs the Law. Also, how we operate within each. Lynn gave a thorough and thoughtful presentation. I always enjoy and learn from her training.

Good course. Informative. Well=paced. The instructor kept the course entertaining, while infoI like informative.

Good overview of operational risk. Excellent refresher course for the high-level topics.

my score was 73% , this is not good enough, I need to study more.

This was an excellent overview of the budget process in review. It is not a detailed budget process but it is sufficient to outline the major points.

Ethical issues are sometimes downrated, what is not correct. Great presentation.

Well laid out and helpful. Gives a good starting point for understanding and manipulating pivot tables.

I like to read the slide decks in the pdf format. The pdfs for this course were not sufficient to learn the content.

I really enjoyed this course. I think the length was appropriate, appreciated the variety of cases, and the instructor did a great job.

Overall it's a good course. Recommended. Thank you............................................................................................................................

Always a great review process when evaluating the impact of ASC 606. This training provided concise advice on how to implement 606.

This was a deep dive and very informative review of Revenue Recognition & Leasing. I went through this process back when it was required and it was a great review of the new requirements.

good course no more opinion... good course no more opinion... good course no more opinion...

A very interesting read with a good summary of how fraud was committed.

Good deep dive on a complex topic...................

Good discussion but I don't think the answer for the first review question is correct.

I love the topic because it's relevant to the current time and it's not something I'd been trained on before regardless of the fact that I've been working remotely part of the time over the last 4+ years. I think that in order for remote work to be successful it's important to consider many of the things covered in this training. The training opened my eyes to all of the opportunities out there that will help me improve my remote work experience. I didn't like that so many website were covered without going into detail about some of them. It felt a little overwhelming. Also I'm interested in learning more about the best ones and details about what they can do. It surprised me that there were so many tools available. Anyone working remotely or considering remote work would get the most from this course.

The course was good. I learned a few tricks about Pivot Tables.

2 Exam questions are incorrectly worded/graded and should be revised.

Well explained and supported with real world examples.

I thought the course and instructor were very good. With all the material to test on, I thought it was unfair to have 2 out of the 5 questions calculating PV when this course never showed how PV was calculated.

Rob does an outstanding job of effectively teaching the Key Performance Indicators and KPI Dashboards. The course was well-structured, providing a comprehensive understanding of KPIs and their critical role in measuring and driving business performance. The content was insightful and easy to follow, with a perfect blend of theory and practical examples. The section on creating KPI dashboards was particularly valuable, offering hands-on guidance on designing and implementing effective dashboards that provide real-time insights into business performance. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex concepts accessible and relevant. The interactive elements and practical exercises helped reinforce the learning and provided me with the confidence to apply these concepts to my own work. Overall, this course is a must for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of KPIs and enhance their ability to track and manage performance effectively. I highly recommend it!

perfect course to learn usefull fuctions within excel to help manage data and analysis.

Materials were well put together and comprehensive coverage of each topic was provided.

Informative course to make sure leaders are modeling ethical behavior with their teams.

It is a great course. However, needs to be updated as the statistics in Report to the Nations can vary at times.

Well written and presented. Couldn't find the answer key for the mini-quizzes though.

This a very comprehensive training. It would be nice to get a presentation on this training because the reading is just too much. But over all still have a very good examples and important topics are discuss and explained well.

A good overview of the new inflation reduction act of 2022. Another high level look at the major changes that have been made and how they apply.

Great refresher with good exercises and commentary

Good information in the course, but could use some updating.

I am a CPA that works in a publicly traded company and most of the ethics courses are firm based. I like the perspective on this course being non-firm.

This course had surprising tips. It is always good to be reminded what excel can do and surprising when I learn something I didn't know or get an idea I didn't think about. Ringstrom is always great at showing how to create efficiencies with Excel.

Excellent coverage of the issues, while keeping it simple.

This was a very thorough yet straightforward introduction to higher-level Excel concepts. The course will only give a basic understanding of using tools like Power Query and VBA Macros, so further courses should be explored to gain more proficiency in these areas.

Two great formulas that I use all the time! If an accountant does not know these formulas, this is a great webinar.

Great course and presentation! Instructor does an excellent job at explaining ratios and analysis so that it is easily followed.

Very high level view of the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and notes. Good refresher course

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.

This was a good presentation on effective presentation techniques. Mr Cook did a great job

A great intro course into Excel, I would recommend to others.

Virginia ethics course, it's required for CPAs and this format works

Lynn did a good job covering The Controllers role and main job functions ? Requirements for job qualifications ? Where controllers spend theirtime ? The controllers changing role

Good course for reviewing purpose. The examples using in the course are useful.

Good speaker but nothing earth shattering in the content of the presentation.

This course moves fast but it is really good. Great to follow along in the Power BI app.

Good refresher course on how to use pivot tables. I like having a workbook to test with along with the lesson.

This text based course was very detailed and provided good examples of real world application

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

Clear, concise, and practical. Perfect for beginners!

Supplementary was a great summarization of all the items learned and then to see it in action was a great learning experience

Jeff was fun and easy to learn from. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend!

This course is a good summary of internal controls, the importance of which is growing as organizations, regulations and technology evolve and become more diverse.

Lynn Fountain's lessons are consistently thorough and give thought-provoking examples. I particularly appreciated that what to do and what not to do actions were presented with the different types of difficult personalities throughout this course.

I really enjoyed this webinar. It gave me a lot to think about with my own management style.

Great instructions were given. Truly helpful in my current job functions. I would highly recommend to others.

Mr. Ringstrom is an excellent instructor; I like that he goes through the PowerPoint and then shows it live in Excel. I will be back for more courses.

Question: What do we consider a Boss in this guide? Answer: A boss is anything that has a Legendary Action (be it hidden or visible). Question: Are these the only ways to deal with these bosses? Answer: There are countless ways to deal with bosses in this game. These are the strategies that I went with, prioritising safety, given that we only have a single life to work with. Question: I am having difficulties with these bosses. Answer: You are most likely not using the guide mentioned above and underleveled/geared. Question: Is this build capable of soloing every single Boss Fight in BG3? Answer: Yes. It's not the easiest build to do it with, but for me, it's the most fun. Question: There were some Legendary Actions changed in 6.0. Does this matter? Answer: Not at all. The changes were minor and are already accounted for. Question: The guide suggests skipping a Boss. Am I allowed to kill it anyway? Answer: Sure, go ahead but do it at your own risk. The reason why the note about the Boss is there is for your own safety. Some bosses are ruthless, especially against S

Keeping the course as a reference. I learned a great deal!

This course is very informative as to how Power BI can help you create visual reports.

Interesting class, but I felt like it was just assumed certain items were known. I have taken previous classes from the instructor and still struggled to complete the course

This course is more for someone that's more advanced that I am because it was so fast and I didn't have a workbook to follow. I was able to pick up and follow on a few things.

good course, a lot of good information provided verbally and not in slides.

The material is dense and detailed. Be prepared to read and reread to fully comprehend.

Course was helpful in providing basic fundamentals of financial statements. For introduction to the basic statements on a financial statement package

Thanks. I learned a lot. A lot of new knowledge makes me happy today. I like it very much. Some knowledges are not required by the CPA exams but are required by the practice. This a perfect lesson to make it up.

Pivot tables offer the advantage of quickly summarizing and analyzing large datasets, enabling users to easily visualize trends, patterns, and relationships within the data.

Detailed instruction by author. Refresher course still if you know Excel.

Interesting course. Presenter made it interesting informative. He was also able to laugh at himself, which made it entertaining.

A lot of this was review for me but the layout and structure of the course was great for anyone relatively new to excel.

This is a very interesting course that assists anyone in Accounts Payable to understand the depth of the role. The assessment is very challenging.

Very good instructor who goes through systematically the commands and their usage. The additional workbook helps so that you can practice the activities as you go.

Instructor was chewing gum while speaking, which was distracting. The course was otherwise helpful.

The instructor is very knowledgable and does a good job explaining then demonstrating the steps to complete a task. I think the review at the beginning of the class went into more detail than was necessary.

This course was informative and interesting. I learned a lot.

Instructor was easy to follow and understand. The course material was applicable to my every day tasks and had several takeaways.

I learned a lot, but the test questions were out in left field and there are no slides.

Another great course from David Ringstrom. I always learn a lot from his excel courses. I am glad to have learned about the xlookup function. I think it is something I will be using a lot.

Good information, but too much repetition of the same exact words in each section. More self promotion than I usually see in these courses.

Google is spelled incorrectly in one of the questions FYI

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

Good overview of the subject material. Covered all the major points.

The training was very informative and most of all I enjoyed the jokes.

great excel course, moves a bit quickly at times but the ability to stop and go back allows this to work. Great course.

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

useful modeling, good high level overview, minimum character requirement, minimum character requirement, minimum character requirement,

Well thought-out content and presentation. Periodic mis-spell and various fonts made it seem less professional and the course was prepared on the fly with heavy Covid-19/Zoom fatigue :)

The slides were great, but the final included questions that required referencing additional online material not within the course

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

This is incredibly outdated. He is referencing Excel 2007.

Great overview for end of year, helpful for preparation and review of statements

I've always wanted to understand a little more about what forensic accounting involves, this was a good start.

Though I am not directly into cash flow analysis in my work, this lesson was an eye openiner for me.

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.

I like the trick to think of at least 3 options or choices in deciding on solutions to a problem.

they didn't give clear examples on the courses and it was hard to navigate through it unless you go to search by yourself

David did good job explaining the basic uses of a Pivot Table and breaking things down in steps to make the process easy to understand. I'll use this knowledge in the future in creating Pivot Tables.

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.

Overall, a good course to learn about multiple lookup equations.

This is a high-level overview of information that all CPAs already know, but it's a great refresher. Highly recommend

Good introduction to the investing segment of the treasury function.

On often overlooked topic for those in the non-IT/cybersecurity sector. Great overview on important topics on handling and preventing security threats.

Presenter is easy to listen to but, the course needs real world examples - not just reading tax brackets.

Another great course - helps provide real-world examples to visualize ethical situations.

What I appreciated: The recap at the end is helpful to reinforce the most important concepts. The quizes are a nice touch because it tests your knowledge while you're watching the course. Areas of improvement: There is a lot of content in this short course, and it would be overwhelming for someone who has no experience in accounting. Additionally, I think it's much more helpful to learners to teach that Assets = Liabilities + Equity rather than Assets - Liabilities = Equity, so it reinforces the idea that Liabilities & Equity should have a credit balances. When going over the example for Lesson 2: Posting Entries (continued), it would be helpful to list the numbers we know before showing the correct entry.

In addition to macro recorder basics, I learned a couple of excel features! I appreciated the thorough explanations, common issues, and risks.

Nice introduction to budgeting principles and models to follow. Budgeting is such an important aspect of business especially for subsidiaries reporting to parent companies.

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

Enjoyed Mr Wu's presentation. Look forward to next class.

Course was relevant and a good road map to live all aspects of your life.

Learnt a few things I did not know about pivot tables

Direct, easy to understand slides and notes make this a valuable course.

Good summary version of the course now to dig into the details going forward.

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

The course provides great case examples of principle financial statements analysis and the purpose for the various ratios.

The course would be suitable for all people. I would like to suggest it to my co-workers and peers. Meanwhile, I really enjoy those cost-free seminars. Thank you, Illumeo!

A lot of useful information on basics of accounting.

This course was very easy to follow and well explained on how to use Excel functions and shortcuts.

I loved the instructor's writing style - great wit/humor.

Very lovely class. I can use this and also apply the principles to helping my kids write.

This was a good course. The content was good. It contained all the critical elements.

Really great class for beginners and advanced users. Really enjoy David's excel classes. They are easy to follow and love the examples he uses throughout the course.

Great information that I will be able to use to help communicate and analyze data more effectively.

I really liked the format of this course. Easy to follow and learn from. Thank you for your time. The v lookups make a lot more sense to me now and I feel confident using Excel.

The instructor spoke a little slow for my taste. I had to speed up the video to help me follow along. Good course, though.

Too much repetition and not enough instruction on how outlook works.

This course is set up in great details. It is useful to both entrepreneurs as well as accountants.

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

Very basic overview - nice for those wanting to start to understand accounting and the basic financial statements.

Well structured overview of the course by instructor

Super clear instructions with excellent examples provided to work through.

I thought I understood pivot tables fairly well. Just found out how little I really knew!! Awesomely informative course; can't wait for the next level courses.

I liked how you had circles on the items you clicked on when demonstrating "vlookup", etc.

Content is well organized and goes beyond the surface level information to provide a detailed level of understanding.

I found the shortcuts to be helpful. the conditional formatting was really quick and didn't explain how the icon sets works. you can change the numbers and the symbols change - based on what criteria?

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

It was very hard to learn. It was like reading the ASC 718. I was hoping to get some examples or some other way of teaching.

The instructor was very well spoken and easy to follow. But who ever wrote the course exams did not proof read at all. Not only were there several typos, but several were missing key words to the question. Thankfully the answers listed make it relatively simple to figure out which one option is correct, but it came off a bit sloppy.

This was fascinating! Cryptocurrency always was a confusing concept to me, but Lynn did a great job of breaking it down in a way that was easily understandable.

its a great course with full of information! i find it useful for me to detect a fraud next time

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

Good discussion of potential pitfalls to watch out for when working with NFP

This was a great course for those of you looking to learn how to apply business analytics to your decision-making strategies!

I like the amount of information available to me, and that I can complete it at my own pace.

The course provided a fresh look at writing an audit report. I liked the emphasis on conciseness and use of visuals in the report. The section on using language to diffuse tension is also very useful for compliance audits.

The questions on the final exam were very poorly worded.

Nice review of the key principles of ASC 606 and 842

Very thorough and great course, perfect way to meet the Oregon Ethics requirement. Adam was a great instructor

Great refresher on the Statement of Cash Flows and its purposes internally and externally.

Good refresher- for those newly working with small and entrepreneurial businesses.

This course was a good review of ethical standards specific to cpa's. It was of an appropriate length and thought provoking. I enjoyed the review.

I liked how the course emphasized current and relevant ethical issues.

This was an excellent course because it provided tactical ways to implement the information provided.

This was a good course to provide a general overview of IFRS concepts.

This course gave me so many strategies to improve my well-being. I hope I can utilize these strategies on a day-to-day basis and I look forward to benefitting from the results!

Great overview of the new bill. Helpful to understand how these changes will affect individuals and corporations.

This course was very informative and gives interesting perspectives for anyone who pays taxes.

Exam question 15 does not have correct answer as an option

The speaker demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and its implementation. Very balanced overview and a good introduction to the subject matter.

been using pivot tables for years and still learned something new

Good material and overview of SAAS metrics. Sound was a little low could be increased but otherwise good

provided great insight into potential areas of travel concern.

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

I liked the conversational style from the instructor versus just reading off the slides.

Very nice overview, the pitfall and remedies were very helpful.

Very informative course, would recommend to all states, not just Iowa.

David's courses are always great. Learned a great trick for getting the month number.

Thank you for including the example questions, I found them very helpful in understanding the course content.

The information provided in this course was presented well and provided a good overall understanding of the planning process of an audit. However, the exam itself needs to be proofread as there were several questions that were written so poorly as to make no sense of the question being asked.

Professor Wu - This is second course of yours that I am taking and I am amazed of the various tricks and tips you have illustrated on sumifs and pivot tables. And yet, I am considered to be a pivot table expert! Thank you, I will continue to practise and use them for better outcomes.

Informative and Engaging CPE Course, Highly Recommended

Nice course on Understanding Performance-Based Equity Awards. Would recommend.

Good overview, would love a follow-up course that dives even deeper on deal killers.

Material not specific enough in terms of definitions and concepts.

This is one of the worst classes I have taken. The lecture is obviously read off a script and not well done. The content of the slides is not in a great format. Finally the review and final exam have a bunch of questions that don't even make sense. Skip this.

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

Great course with a solid overview. It reviews the material thoroughly and also has great best practices

Excellent speaker who is clear, concise, and gave relevant examples that supplemented the course theories.

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

The points made in this presentation would be very helpful to any member of any organization.

Great course that walked through traits, skills, and goals of an ethical leader.

Large amount of typos. The slides appeared sloppy.

Very helpful even for frequent career excel users.

So many things to remember; will definitely incorporate this into my presentations. So very helpful

Blair Cook was an excellent presenter. The material was useful.

Presenter was a subject matter expert. I viewed it as more of an intermediate or advanced course. Was helpful but need to spend more time absorbing some of the concepts

Going through different scenarios could be helpful. But overall, the class was good and met the objectives, which included a refresher on Ethics.

This course provided an excellent overview of cyber security. I would recommend this course for anyone, especially those newer to the field of cybersecurity.

Interesting and thought-provoking examples used in the training. I enjoyed it!

Very comprehensive review of revenue recognition considerations. Will definitely be able to reference this in the future

This was a very informative course. high recommended A++++++

Excellent primer for internal control framework and necessity. Good use of examples in presentation.

Amazing to learn the competition between Vlookup and SUMIFS. The SUMIFS returns on both value and differ data type. It is great to use on daily payment report.

Enjoyed this course! Great insight into future dealings within companies.

very practical course. Looking forward to trying different budgeting techniques

Good overview of the basics of time management, meeting design, change management, and more.

Very thorough, the workbook goes along quite well.

Ethics is difficult to teach, although you would think otherwise. This is a great course to address the esoterics of the subject.

Easy to understand and clear. Applicable to everyday work.

I found that the instructor had a fun demeanor and provided excellent material that was not only informational but had checklists, action items that I can immediately put to use in my career.

This was a very nice discussion of the close the books process.

I would agree that the information provided was very good to know but just a lot to take in.

Very simple and effective. Learned so much that I took for granted. Your approach in using simple examples to focus on the feature and function is very practical.

Good overview of basic accounting concepts and the speaker is easy to listen to.

This is a very informative course for characteristics of successful people and why others do not live up to what they could have been.

The examples are very detailed, but if a simplified example could be shown, including the how the calculations are done, it would be very helpful.

I liked that after each sections, an example was given.

The professor explained the details of five stages of project management process clearly.

Excellent overview of the various financial statements. Thought the section on financial ratios was a great addition.

Great course - I highly recommend listening to the "This is Water" video. I found a 23 min version on you tube... wrapped this course up nicely!

Might be too much information in once course, but it is great stuff.

this class is great for California CPA, keep us complies with AICPA

In total, it was very informative & I appreciated the detailed explanations. However I could have done without the instructors introduction of all of his background. Also the summary on how this course compares to similar courses was not needed.

This was an informative primer on IT General Controls and was easy to understand.

Very informative. The class provided the material in a clear and concise manner.

Helpful information about automating reports in Excel. Recommend.

I like this topic and the instructor did a good job with real life examples which I appreciated.

This course was effective but also entertaining and light :)

Good ethics update course. Provides an overview of key areas for CPAs both in practice and in industry.

Well prepared and laid out. Flowed well from topic to topic.

Well presented, easy to follow, not dull. Informative and relevant.

Great course that explains how to use email professionally in today's context.

A good basic review of journal entries and accruals!

Excellent course for helping refresh what most of us learned in Intermediate Accounting. Content is good and well delivered. My only complaint is the sound quality isn't great in a couple of the modules and should be redone.

Information presented will be very useful! It was presented in an easy to follow format. I learned several short-cuts to convert emails to tasks to calendar items. The tips provided relative to using the Notes section in Outlook will also be very helpful There is no doubt that I will be able to use the information provided in this course to better manage my time and and track my tasks. After taking this course, I am definitely going to follow it up with his course on Email management.

Very good explanations. Clear ans simple even for a non-native speaker!

Important subject nicely explained for understanding.

Instructor really explains thoroughly & provides wonderful & helpful supporting documents & materials for afterwards. It still takes me forever to complete, but it is a well planned out & conducted online learning video.

great course for those of us that live in California and are requited to take this course

Good overview of balance sheet items of companies, and their relationship to income statement, retained earning statement.

Good and Mandatory Ethics course. With recent changes, it's good to stay informed!!!!!!!

Very comprehensive; great refresher course for me!

What I liked: This course offers a very comprehensive review of both accounting, financial analysis, and finance concepts. It gave me a good refresher on the accounting fundamentals, as well as taught me how to set up templates for financial forecasts (which is very useful). The review on debt vs equity financing is also helpful.

This course is a very basic but important guide in setting goals

I liked all of the examples, they were very easy to follow along with. The pace may be a bit fast for beginners but for me it was great.

I wanted to rate this course a 5 star. It was some of the best content I've ever seen and for the first time, I have a strong understanding of cryptocurrency and what is truly behind it/what it means. Fantastic content and explanation of the material without question. However, the exam was extremely frustrating---just too much, with too much detail and confusing alternative answers. I felt like I took a college final, not reinforced what I learned.

The best ethics course that I have taken. Thank you!

I liked this course as I found that it was very informative and a great refresher on all the many methods and ways in which fraud can occur and be prevented as well.

Overall a great reminder of how to be successful as we all continue to work from home more frequently

The examples were a bit dated. ITF; as an auditor I would never introduce test data tinto a live production environment and I have never worked in an environment that would allow.

Informative and easy to understand. Can't wait to use the new options!

Excellent materials and will make for good reference going forward.

Useful summary of project management - good information on quantitative ways to monitor progress.

It is a good course to gain an understanding of the Not for Profit entities. The instructor is clear and detailed.

Quick refresher course on the fundamentals of the BS. It did discuss the IS to discuss RE. Really great for CPE but not helpful if you are looking for further knowledge. This would be great to review before watching more advanced dives into specific accounts or principals.

This was the best ethics course I have taken. I really liked the case studies.

Good course it has some useful tips. My only issue is this course seems to be outdated (2014?) for the new functions of Outlook

Decent refresher course, plus you learn a few items to make excel easier.

Excellent - I picked up many tips on IF(ISNA, data valuation lists, match, index and choose.

This course was very helpful. I learned some neat tricks and tips for inputting data.

Great course. The discussion sections of the material were especially helpful.

Great class- one of the better ones! As someone who has a published book, I can attest to the importance of editing.

Good Info presented and time helping shortcuts. I knew most, but a couple new and all helpful

Excellent overview of covered material. Examples and support material were helpful in understanding each excel tip.

good information on critical information. The program materials were relevant and contributed to the achieving the objectives.

Provided fundamental basics only on payroll accounting

It was very interesting to get perspective from someone who has worked in both external and internal audit. This was a great refresher on what goes into consideration when issuing an audit opinion.

Great general overview of the new standard. Very informative.

The presentation was great but I'm wondering why some of the final exam questions were specific to ASC 605 (and not just what has changed from it) when that guidance has been superseded.

Very good information given in this course, and given in a way that was very informative, not too wordy, and easy to understand.

This course was informative and presented in a professional manner. Neil keeps the listener engaged by talking about real life scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend it. In particular the subject about deflecting is the most interesting, we all have employees that like to complain. I tend to ask people how their day is going if they start out by complaining.

Great introduction course! PLEASE REVIEW THE COURSE FOR THE NUMBER OF CPE CREDITS. SHOULD BE 2.5?

Clear and Concise course. Learned a lot about analyzing data.

Very well structured and contained all key details needed to understand construction accounting

Most useful course taken this year, loaded with practical applications and resources to add value to my financial presentations and discussions

I liked the information provided in the course. It is certainly very helpful for people coming from non-professional background to search through the court records

Excellent presentation about giving presentations! Learned a lot!

very refreshing materials. well summarized and laid out effectively

Though the material in this course was well thought out and presented, I found it distasteful and unpatriotic to include a former president, not just as an example of an amoral/immoral leader, but also the answer to an exam question. Keep your politics out of my professional learning materials...

Cybersecurity Program and Roles is a great course with in depth explanation and discussion.

In just two hours, this course will allow accounting and finance professionals to write significantly better. The first part of the course shines. As a professional writer, it provided a useful summary of business writing principles. Most professionals will learn new information that they can instantly apply to improve their writing. While the second part also provided critical information, it felt much less content-dense than the first part. This section only needed half the time allotted. Overall, an excellent course and a productive use of time.

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

I really like this course and would recommend it to anyone who is stepping into or pursuing a leadership position.

Good review of concepts and provided valuation info

The presenter provides plenty of relevant insights on fraud evaluations in a very clear and concise manner

Helpful reminders to remain proficient with excel and stay away from more manual bad habits.

Great job reminding us that the financials are only the first step...i don't use ratios as i should. printed out the slides to remind me.

Treasury stock is hard! But this class helped break it down easily.

I loved the fact there was no instructor and I was able to work thru the material at my own pace with the excellent instructions and tools provided.

This course was a basic intro to ethics and ethical leadership.

This is a very comprehensive course for tax planning strategies for short-term rental properties.

I liked the overall content of the course. It should benefit all internal auditors regardless of organizational structure.

Very simple course, to be honest non interesting for me. I would expect more complicated material when read the description.

The scope of the exam was useful because it touched on all areas of financial accounting. It would also be beneficial to include payroll entries.

This course did a really nice job with individual case studies and footage of historical figures to illustrate the contrasts in leadership.

I have to admit that I gave up on watching the video within 20 minutes because of the background music...it's really annoying.

Interesting take on analyzing your audience. Really enjoyed the course.

I didn't feel like the questions about The TV Show or "Nerds" were appropriate to the material. "Nerd" tends to be perceived as a derogatory term and doesn't feel like it fits in with the concept of Emotional Intelligence.

I enjoyed this course as it discusses the importance and use of data analytics as it is the future of auditing.

Took this as a refresher. Just finished a finding development training and this lined up perfectly with what I learned during that training. Great extension to the knowledge base I already have!

I'd like to know more technical details of each of the computation.

I think Mr. Cook is an excellent presenter. Why aren't there more written / graphic / notated materials included with the CPE? More expensive CPE products generally include a PowerPoint. More important would be a transcript which can be very valuable for busy note-takers. I'm surprised these are not made available.

The instructor was very thorough on explaining xlookup and its functionality. Furthermore, he provided detailed examples on how to overcome the constraints of vlookup, hlookup, xlookup and other formulas.

A good financial leadership course that covers a lot of useful information and was based on experience that is relatable and relevant to many organizations.

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

She broke it down and made it much less overwhelming.

Instructor needs more enthusiasm and to have slides that are better organized to fit the screen.

I thought this course provided a good overview of the new guidance when compared to the old. It would be nice to have more examples to walk through.

Felt like the guy was reading from a book and in the last section the slides didn't line up with what he was saying

Great course. However, question 10 answer on final exam is incorrect.

The material was explained clearly, I was surprised how simple it was to understand the lesion. Anyone who processes accounts payable will benefit from this course.

Similar to David's other courses, instruction was clear and concise. Not only will this help build a solid budget, but a few neat shortcuts and formulas are presented as well.

Some good common sense ideas in this course, but it is primarily targeted for those with the authority to make a permanent change in not only month-end processes but also in the company's holistic approach to the accounting close

I found this second module to be more instructive/informational than the first with more actionable information.

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

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 review of the financial statements for CPE credit. Great professor and lesson.

very helpful course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

instructor was clearly very knowledgeable, spoke quickly and used examples of how you would apply to real life situations-- a lot of material but all very useful.

Very straight-forward explaination which made the lecture easy to follow.

Good review course. This was a solid refresher for something I have been away from for some time.

now that I WFH full time because of the pandemic, this was SO helpful!

This was a really great course and needed at a time when company cultures are diminishing due to economic crisis.

This short course provided some great ideas and suggestions.

Very engaging speaker. He used inflection during the course and emphasized areas as he spoke. The topic kept me entertained, focus and excited to learn more.

This is essential, especially now in the COVID world.

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

Excellent recap of the 5 steps of RR and solid examples of their application to learn from. Recommend this course to solidify understanding of concepts.

Excellent advice and insights. I highly recommend for any finance/accounting leader.

I am really happy taking this course, I have really learned some new lessons.

I dislike the questions about the different versions of Excel. I don't think this is relevant to the learning objective.

Very helpful summary of many different metrics to evaluate the financial status of a company. As an analyst, this will be very helpful in practical application, and the background and reasoning behind each ratio was clear and insightful.

A very good course for both people new to blockchain and those who have a solid understanding already to help reinforce understanding

Served as a great refresher on the functionality of pivot tables. Would also be great for those that haven't used pivot tables previously. Instruction was thorough and clear.

Great course to help satisfy the Ethics CPE requirement

I remember this exam from the CBA when I first got my license and it was a killer. This exam was straight forward, was not tricky or sneaky to trip up applicants, and covered a wide range of topics that were relevant. Study the book topic locations and be able to find the answer rather than memorizing all the rules.

Clear, concise and fast moving. Great tips and shortcuts. I've been using Excel for years and still learned a few tricks.

Other illumeo presenters should take this course! Awesome!

This was a great course. The fraud triangle is very important to reiterate how easy it is for people to rationalize their bad deeds.

Overall a good course. I didn't agree with every recommendation but it was a different view point that was worth hearing. Easy to follow and the information stuck. Hope to take away a few nuggets and apply to the "difficult" people I have in my life.

It's confusing to have the ethics rules of several organizations interspersed throughout materials. The chapters don't clearly define which organization is being discussed in which chapter.

This was a great course, full of applicable tips and shortcuts!

This course provided a good high level overview of how to conduct a risk assessment for SOX.

Great basic course to provide a basic understanding of business combinations under topic 805. Would be better if it was not a text based course but an instructor led program.

This course does not provide reference slides. It is also outdated with most information based on 2017-2018 tax years. Lastly, the final exam is riddled with typos, which makes the questions confusing.

It was a great course. Though, there were too much information given in a short time. As the instructor said, it needs lots of practice and repetition to be more efficient.

This class was very informative, I like how they gave detailed examples to have a better understanding.

Provided a good basic background on what forensic accounting is and what a forensic accountant may be charged to do

Training audit tests on specific examples will always help you learn the material more accurately.

I very much enjoyed this course. I myself can get stuck in ruts in life and this just helped motivate me to set some goals for myself and to achieve them!

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.

Great information and very useful! I learned a lot of tips in planning.

Explanation/presentation was very conversational and provided a lot of insight based on real experience with the legislation.

This is a great course. I recently start doing budget forecast for my company. I can see a lot of the similarity between this course and actual real life work. This course definitely help me to improve my understanding and the concept behind my work. I also like the few tricks that Blair shares at the end of the course.

Introduction to basic excel features. Course topics explained by working through numerous examples. Time estimate on the low side. Very good course.

Great summary and support detail. Appreciated the quiz questions and various notes in preparation for the final exam at the end.

I wish I saw this training at my previous job. What a good, straightforward approach to managing the situation.

This is a great course for someone trying to improve their budget process.

This course is very easy to follow and the tip to get the budget template is great.

Did not like the slides the font was too big and did not flow. Material was ok.

Good class overall. There are many complex topics covered in a short period of time, I had to watch a few of the topics several times to grasp concepts.

Enjoyed the take away for me of the importance of a leader looking ahead to the future instead of focusing on what happened in the past.

Very good refresher! Must take it every few years. Very good coverage.

eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh ehe ehe he he hehehehehehe e

Useful and provided perspectives and examples that I hadn't previously encountered.

This course was a good overview of recent changes and may lead you to take other more detailed courses that deal with one of the topics presented here.

The instructor made is very easy to follow. I found the course informative for beginners. It was easy to digest

Sincerely one of the best training courses I've taken in a while. Great take away and presented in a way that lingers with the audience.

Great course in ethics of the CFO. Employees will only be as good as their management and this course emphasizes how the CFO can set the standard.

Excellent content. I would encourage the instructor to speak less monotone for a 5 star rating.

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

I really liked this course. There were great examples and the material was interesting. Very applicable for small to medium size businesses.
