The course was well presented and provided some really good information. I was a bit surprised on how well it kept you focused on the material. In the past I've always taken video courses and did not think it was possible to do a PDF course and I was wrong.

Acceptable materials relating to NY rules & regulations for CPA licensees. Required course material, so there isn't much room to avoid it. Would have appreciated some presentation content, rather than just the written materials.

It's confusing to have the ethics rules of several organizations interspersed throughout materials. The chapters don't clearly define which organization is being discussed in which chapter.

I wish there was video associated with the text material. It is hard to read 100 plus pages alone and retain all the information and take an exam. There should be more review questions.

I thought there was a solid overview of moral vs. ethics with examples of real life scenarios, and then liked that it was specific to NY CPAs across audit and tax functions.

There were problems with the PDF. It kept repeating one paragraph throughout the PDF. And I'm not a huge fan of this format.
