I've never heard the term prepaid income used ever. I've always seen deferred income, deferred revenue or advance payments used so this was confusing to me. The exam questions seem to geared toward a non US accountant in my opinion. Curious if instructor is in Canada.

This is an information packed course with a lot of moving parts. The instructor does a good job of explaining the subject matters well. I had a replay a couple of items over however it was well presented and explained. This is a great course

Confusing terminology in this course. Accrued Income and Prepaid Income are not the common terms in the accounting industry. Deferred Revenue and Accrued Revenue are more common for SEC reporting.

Trainer did a good job of writing out examples. My favorite part was that last written slide that helped summarize the difference between accrued and prepaid income/expense.
