    Good book. I learned good concepts. With all respect you deserve, I found on page 96 that solution to Problem III (2), section (a) could have an incorrect answer. I think it should say “…the error was made have been closed.”.

    Good content and a little above my skill level. I had to go online to get some definitions and fill in some of the gaps. I feel students should be tested before receiving this course.

    This is a matter of simple observation and sound knowledge of the accounting equation. Allocating errors are the most critical lately

    too much time on bank recs and on errors the bank made, but good at finding transpositions etc. there should be more time on looking at the actual balance sheet and profit and loss to find errors

    Also not for the beginner! Course presumes you have working knowledge and/or education in the field of accounting.

    Well, I am totally dissatisfied with the entire Bookkeeping course that I took. The test appears to be dated. The material in the textbook and the test are different. I would like a refund for the money that I paid for testing. This is not a course that I would recommend to others. I would rate this as a 1/2 star.

    I didn’t actually take this course. I am CPE coordinator at my CPA firm and we purchase these to help our new hires. We find them very useful for refreshers for newly graduated, but inexperienced accountants.
