- What to do when these items reverse in a future period.
- the balance sheet presentation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities arising from these transactions

This would be a better course if there wasn't seemingly duplication of the recorded material. It appears that sections 3 and 4 both have their content repeated, making them unnecessarily twice as long.
The presenter was good and the topic is not an easy one to convey.

The instructor is pretty effective with the book/tax differences. The examples used in the PowerPoint slides were helpful in understanding how the book/tax differences come about.

Comprehensive review. Would be nice to have an end to end tax provision course rather than breaking it up into pieces. Also, not enough on reconciling the effective tax rate.

The instructor made the learning of basic book-tax difference and UTP much simpler and easier to understand in this course.
