This course and the depreciation course were the two I had to spend the most time on. Glad I did because it rounded out my abilities as an accounting person.

The course was very difficult for someone who has only dealt in very simple in/out inventory for many years. Having said that, it was a good thing it was difficult. I need to work hard to learn how the private sector works, since my work is in the public sector. The course was very good.
