The course was one of the most difficult courses I have ever taken,and the most time I have taken to learn the course. I am not so good at audit subject,and after taking the course, I enhanced my knowledge about audit a little bit.Mr.Garland is very logic and experienced, and thanks for his great work.

Written materials are clearly and presented in an orderly and logical manner, though in a few places they are fairly basic outline could be a more fully explained (perhaps provide more examples). Video presentation done well and aligns with the materials.

This was a very detailed course, and information was presented in an organized fashion. It would have been easier to follow, however, if slides were used during lecture, rather than me having to refer to study guide independently.

This was a tough course, but was a great review of a typical financial audit. I liked that it broke down the audit process for each part of the financials, such as cash, A/R, inventory, payroll, revenue, etc.

This is a good refresher course and can be used by corporate accountants to make sure they are maintaining proper documentation that will be required by the auditors so the process if more efficient.

This is a very good course to understand the basics of core auditing of financial statements. The course notes are very well well summarized whereby one can very easily skim through the main points.

Good explanation about types of evidence to consider while auditing different accounts, good explanation of the accounts cycle for different accounts, good job tying all the information together.

A bit heavy and it would be good for the content to be modernized in some way. I believe it would be difficult for someone without an audit background to follow.
