Presentation was somewhat difficult to follow.. voice cadence creates some uncertainty /concern with validity of statements, as well as key concepts identified in slides but not clarified or resolved. Overall, the key concepts were not always clearly stated but highlighted.
It would be more relevant to have more well-rounded examples to include both for profit entities as well as non-profits and HOAs with examples both in the verbal recount as well as the Q&A and videos. Thank you!

Excellent course for auditors and non-auditors. Suitable for anyone looking to learn more regarding the financial statement preparation process. I enjoyed the videos and the instructor's communication style - the slide handouts were also very useful. Don't expect to learn a ton from a shorter course like this, but do expect a good base knowledge of the subject matter!

The course is very helpful especially to those that are involved in the financial statements preparation. For those with no public accounting background, this is a highly recommended course. The presentation is very organized and presented with a good level of simplicity. The speaker is also good and very knowledgeable of the topics included in the course.

good review of audit issues that can arise and makes it clear what is needed going forward for issues that could come about. Preparation of financial statements discussed in this course shows that the auditors have a clear duty to use their professional judgement, rather than just rely on financial information given to them.
Sherry Gong

I like that the presentation is thorough, but it is somewhat jargon-heavy (understandably so). The slides are very text-heavy, too, and they could benefit from an increase in the use of the slideshow program's ability to show one piece of info at a time (even in the diagrams) so that it's less overwhelming to the learner.

The course provides a great overview for individuals who are preparing FS. The course provides a good understanding about what areas are higher risk of auditor investigation, areas of higher risk of misstatements, and areas that are lower risk/immaterial to the FS. Great course for first time FS preparers.
