This course was easy to understand and provided a good foundation for gaining an understanding of inventory accounting. It explained the three main accounts in inventory and how they work together. It also helped participant understand how inventory interacts with the income statement.

Very quick and helpful way to remember the fundamentals of accounting and how the accounts tie into the Income Statement. I liked how he shows the flow from one account to the next, all the way down the line to COGS.
