Excellent course, very thorough and a great introduction to the new lease accounting standard. The handout is well-written and provides great examples along with plenty of detail for each area of the new standard. Highly recommended course!

Thorough written materials and good examples. The sale and leaseback section was a bit challenging as there was little explanation of the rules and simply two examples provided. Also, there were a couple typos in the material.

The PDF is a great surface level overview for the person who is trying to learn at a high-level the ASC 842 standard. However, for more in-depth examples, I would turn to the firm guides for additional details.

I enjoyed the self study approach. It would be 5 stars if the journal entries and T accounts were included for learning purposes.

The content is detailed out properly. Asset under construction was perhaps a topic I was not able to relate with examples

Good information, but I would have benefited a lot by less overall coverage and more examples of what was covered
