This course provides an in-depth overview of the accounting and reporting requirements with respect to business combinations as prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The overall objective of the guidance included within ASC 805 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.

Very good course covering the accounting for business combinations. I was somewhat familiar with this material, and this course not only reinforced what I knew, but also introduced new concepts.

Solid course which helps build a foundational understanding of business combinations. Would likely be easier to digest, and more interesting, if it were an instructor-led program.

Great basic course to provide a basic understanding of business combinations under topic 805. Would be better if it was not a text based course but an instructor led program.

This was a great high level overview of business combinations and how to measure the value of assets and liabilities when acquired.

Another good course on business combinations and all of the things that one must know to properly disclose the correct information.

This was a helpful overview on business combinations. I had never gone through one before until now and needed a refresher.
