This course does a fantastic job of giving a high level overview of the major changes in accounting standards in the recent years. This helps identify areas where processes will need to be changed to make sure that the data needed to comply with the new standards is being tracked appropriately.

The course was a decent overview of recent changes to GAAP. No one is an expert in all areas of GAAP, and that showed in a few instances, such as when the instructor mistakenly assumed that franchise taxes are taxes on businesses involved in franchising.

The course was perfect. I am still getting to know US GAAP as I have always worked with IFRS, but this course was great and insightful.

Good update over accounting changes. Surprised to see pensions covered because they're so uncommon.
