Recent Review:

John R. says "I had no idea what IFRS entailed until I took this course.  Turns out its not as overwhelming as I expected.  Instructor does a great job identifying the areas it differs from GAAP, explaining how to handle the differences, and provides great insight into how to create a plan to report under IFRS if you work internationally or if in the future the US switches to IFRS.  Really glad I took the course!"

Expected more information on all the IFRS standards at a high level. But, only very few topics were covered and were very elementary level.

By Sombit Mukherjee on 7/27/2022

It was a good experience for me to know about IFRS and it's difference between US GAAP .

By Tatiana Aparecida Barbosa Dos Santos on 9/23/2021

The content was interesting and will help me in the company. It is a course with initial concepts and inviting you to go deeper. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

By Raghavendra on 9/6/2021

Teaching skill was excellent, way of presentation was good but I was a beginner I wanted to know about IFRS but this lecture I did not find any deeper introduction to IFRS. This is suitable only for those who already know something about IFRS

By Gabi Frias on 7/27/2021

Excelent content, explanations and examples! I really enjoy the update videos for 2020 and 2021. Amazing summaries :) I will definitely take another of your courses!! Thanks u again!

By Alejandra Martinez on 10/27/2020

I thought this was a 50-minute course about IFRS, turns out that 18 minutes out of the 50 mins was just about basic Excel formulas. Disappointing

By Thein Htoo Aung on 8/16/2020

I like the course. Very informative. Not sure this is due to the fact that it is instruction course but would have use more examples to explain the concepts and ideas

By Luis Ricardo Robles López on 12/29/2018

El curso ha sido conciso con lo que trata, no se mete más a fondo y va directo al grano, era justo lo que esperaba del mismo y razón por la cual me inscribí a otros del mismo instructor.

By Kaan Mutluel on 11/27/2018

ancak konuşmacı çok hızlı konuşuyor. ve çok okuma modunda geçiyor . Bilgiler kısa ve öz . daha çok örnek verilebilir .

By Draco Pharma on 5/4/2018

This is a great introduction to IFRS. I learned the basics I need to as my company does business internationally and we really had no idea how the different accounting rules apply. I am looking forward to the next more in depth course as well the instructor is putting together.
