Content was ok but the instructor was clearly reading off a script, so it wasn't as enjoyable as some of the other courses on Illumeo. There are also some grammatical errors in the final exam questions which made it a bit confusing.

This course was very interesting and learned quite a bit as a lot of this was new information for me. I liked the detailed explanations and I believe most people going into accounting would benefit from this course.

course was good with a lot of useful information, although there appears to be grammatical errors in the review quiz, final exam and slides that made the questions hard to read/understand was being asked

I really enjoyed this course. It was a great overview; not too in depth, but just enough for a good overview of internal controls. Would recommend to anyone no matter your experience level.

Presentation PDF and video out of synch. Basically read the PDF. Info was well laid out. Each section had thorough analysis. Gave good insight to the auditing process, viewpoint, goals.

Overall the course was good. The slides were out of sync so used the pdf during the training. Some of the questions could have been worded a little bit better but overall good course.

Good information, but the presentation was not very professional. The constant background noises with the microphone being moved or hit were very distracting and frankly annoying.

Very well structured. The course materials provided a great overview of the topic and very clear. The pace allowed for a proper understanding of the topic.

The exam questions were very poorly written - it was hard to understand what the question was to be able to select the correct answer.

Nice course. BTW- One of the exam questions is improperly worded. I figured you would want to know.
