Working on this course now. Very straight-forward. Excellent examples. Questions at the end of each section help to make sure you fully understand the concepts in each section

While the book does what it is mean to do, I don’t feel that the subject matter warrants a course. Reconciling bank statements, and accounts seems pretty obvious to most accountants. Maybe the course was meant for non-accountants in mind.

The course book provided the very basic information for this subject. I found it helpful to have some experience in bookkeeping and also consulted other resources as study materials.

This was the most interesting course. My previous review (Adjusting entries)was for this course. However, Adjusting entries course was interesting too. In particular, the aging of A/R methods. I do not recall this subject being discussed as thoroughly as your course did when I was attending a major university. For example, I did not know that the ending/beginning balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts percentage of A/R must equal the exact percentage amount, period. That is just one example of many interesting course topics.

Overall the class was very good and the tips to find errors were helpful. Although the overall concepts were helpful, my accounting software ensures I make double entries, so I found the info a bit dated and not realistic to my day to day accounting.

I think the books would be especially helpful for someone who has very little experience, and no formal education in bookkeeping.

The book is very easy to follow; I only had problems with the assumed knowledge, ie, since I’m just starting out, I didn’t know how much is a good estimate for certain accounts. Otherwise, a very informative book.

The questions are long and difficult to grasp before answering within the time frame of 1 hour in prometric test. I feel questions are asked is different way rather than quiz in the Text and therefore facing difficulty to answer in the test.

Well materials is nice, but in the promatric exam adjusting entry related question is little tricky. Many question’s direction I did not fine in the book. Mainly fiscal year and accounting period focused complicated way to solve adjusting entry. I need proper guide to pass promatric exam.
