Course Description
I believe that you should not fall asleep when learning something new. You need to be encouraged and excited instead. In order to be excited about learning, you need to understand easily. If you struggle to understand, of course you will fall asleep. I have implemented a new way of teaching. Animated videos which are easy to understand. Problem solving videos that teach you how to apply what you have learned. Learning has never been so exciting.
In this course you will find everything explained with a video lecture. There are 2 types of video lectures. The first type is an animated (cartoon) video that breaks down the most difficult concepts used in business. The second type is a problem solving shared screen that will help you with the calculations and analysis, as well as your thinking process.
Whether you are a business owner, manager, or a student, you will need this course. This course will provide you with great tools that will make your decisions much more informative and calculated.

Stefan Ignatovski, Ph.D.
An Accounting Professor, Investor and Entrepreneur who teaches at multiple colleges in the US, including University of Washington. Stefan has also established multiple companies and invested in multiple start-up companies. Additionally, he is the author of the books "Financial Accounting" and "What College Didn't Teach You!". His area of expertise is concentrated in Accounting Forensics, which focuses on financial fraud, creative accounting, and anti-money laundering.
In every course Stefan makes, you will find the difference in teaching. He has his own way of creating interesting videos (less than 5 minutes, of course) in which you will find everything you need to know about a specific topic. The DIFFERENCE is that his videos are fun to watch and will give you the desired "Aha!" moment. You will never forget the information, since each one is very descriptive.
Stefan's classes are very dynamic and make you eager to learn.

Videos were too short to help understand the concepts. It would have helped if the complete Product Costing cycle would have been explained with an example.

I'm taking a Masters level managerial accounting course and it does not flow as well as this Udemy course so far. I have zero accounting background... After part 2 I'm still hazy on estimating MOH Would like more explanation and examples of Absorption vs Variable costing
By Adona Reynolds on 1/8/2019
Some wording doe not make any sense, especially when I have to read it by the transcript. It is like you talked into your phone and it picked words it thought you said but was not correct

El contenido de la introduccion a la materia esta muy bien definido, el uso practico de ejemplo para explicar las fases del curso. Aprendi las bases de costos y la administracion.

People are quite confusing about different types of costs in accounting. This course makes the costs easy to understand, and it provides many good example to explain them. I really learn a lot after taking this course.
By Aurijus Dirse on 3/1/2018
Better insights on managing cost and how to get to gross and net income. It is a great beginning point to learn about accounting. Thanks!
By Bernadita Torres on 2/5/2018
Excellent! Even though you understand "why they do that" in accounting, you must be able to do it yourself. This is a do-it-yourself course. Thank You

By Abhishek Sarkar on 10/24/2017
The instructor is to the point and explains clearly the foundations of cost accounting and explains graphically with examples which easy to remember. Thank you for making this useful course free. Cheers!
By Chris Wildbore on 10/23/2017
Only one of the videos the sound was too quiet. It would be good to have some exercises to be down loaded and done and then compared to the answers later in the class or lecture. Love that this really takes the fear out of accounting!
