I enjoy this instructors presentations. I think because of the volume of information packed into this presentation sometimes the explanations were not clear. Otherwise this was a great way to get an overview of the ASU's that will be affecting small to midsized entities.

A great intro to recently issued GAAP which provides enough information to make a determination of relevancy and when further investigation of a particular topic needs to be researched.

The slides are too packed with abstract theories and text heavy to make it easy for the learners to grasp the critical application.

Good update for sure but some of the items could use more explanatory detail with regards to journaling items onto balance sheet

Good presentation. There is so much detailed and specific information that additional slides would have been helpful.

As a IFRS practitioner, this is a hard topic. I hope there would be trainings bridging gap between IFRS and US GAAP
