This course is very difficult to read along with and understand. By far the most difficult course I have taken through the AIPB. There is a lot of great information but just very difficult to understand. It took me a long time to complete and had to triple check all the answers at the end of the book. I guess thats why its worth the most CPEC’s.

This was very difficult…the explanations weren’t clear & it seemed as if there were things asked in the test that weren’t covered in the book. Also, it would help to get tests back to see what was done correctly & what was missed.

Very in depth. I think it would be much improved if it said something about how this financial report translates into computerized bookkeeping programs like QuickBooks. I get no encouragement to do things in long hand at work. I find it difficult to be sure of how to create accurate results in a computerized format from doing this course. Also, I found a number of typos even in Quiz annswers. I did, however, come to understand how this financial statement is built and what effects there are on cash in a given period. This helps me at work troubleshoot cash flow problems.

Since I’m a QuickBooks user, it is very easy for me to pull up a Statement of Cash Flows. However, being able to pull it up simply and knowing what you are seeing and how it relates to your business is another thing. This course makes it possible to understand why a business needs to use this report and what it conveys as to the financial stability of the company.
