Accounting for Funds: Private Equity (Udemy.com)

It is a perfect introduction as it established the lecturer's credibility at the beginning to highlight the objectives and goals of the training/course. The trainer also brushed up on the basic concepts of general accounting for proper buildup of understanding once the course digs deeper to its specifics.

Quite informative and easy to learn PE basic from this lecture. Wishing to learn more and hands on going forwards. Only drawback is not available with the sample workbook. May be he can share the workbooks for practice.

Great effort sharing all your knowledge with us! What I learned in this course definitely helped me in my job and cleared up some things that I could not find answers to elsewhere.

The host is very knowledgeable about the subject and very engaging. However, this is the most basic of courses and the info is very high-level. I also think that even if the spreadsheets are proprietary, the instructor could have created sample worksheets (less detailed, more high-level) to make it easier for his audience to follow along. A lot of times I have to pause the video and copy the formula, but having a sample worksheet to make notes on and recalculate would help a lot. Also wish that they would go into more detail about things like waterfalls and accrued incentive as well as reviewing the fund docs and allocations, what they did focus on (i.e. how entries flow into the FS for simple expenses) was very high-level and a bit shallow if you already have a basic understanding of accounting.

The accounting entries shared by the instructor were useful and his explanations also sounded interesting. However, as many of the students mentioned the excel file and the case he used during the course would have been shared as learning material for full understanding.

Very informative discussion on fund accounting for private equity. The only reason why I gave 4 stars rating is because of the the spreadsheet discussion, I really needed to stop and figure out how the instructor did the computation. It would be really great if we have copy of the spreadsheet discussed so I can compute it on my own and see if I compute correctly. Or we have some sample exercise so we can apply what have been discussed.

I am new to private equity fund accounting; this course helped me understand basics and intermediate concepts of Private Equity and Its accounting. As few comments suggested it's kind of difficult to understand how the excel is structured and frequent switches of tabs made it more difficult. I understand that a new video is added at the end (as a guide), however I wouldn't go to the new videos unless I complete previous ones. It will be beneficial for new learners if the guide video is moved to the top. To conclude, I am happy to have registered for this course and I have learned a lot. Cheers!

Got a good idea of how accounting works at background... Waiting for the advanced course on fund admin!

Amazing course! So much detail & behind the scenes explanation of how the books work for managing & expensing a fund via spreadsheet workbooks. Really helpful!

Pros: Good course structure. Practical information. Reasonable price. Cons: Mispronounced words (especially "Capital"....) Please avoid using slang and cusswords during the presentation. The heart of the course is the module 4 financial statements which I expect the most, however, I found it's difficult to follow the content because there is no introduction about the spreadsheet or how we should navigate around it (I have 5+ year fund accounting experience). Though the entries are well-explained and easy to understand. Hopefully my two cents can help! Thank you for the course.
