Debbie Childress, CPA (US)

This is probably the best training that I have taken for a while. The slides were concise and to the point and Lucas was very knowledgable. Plus I liked the fact that he stated the answers to the polling questions. That is the first time that I have taken a myCPE class where the instructor talked about the polling questions. Great job!

NB

Nicole Bartle, CPA (US)

This has been my favorite CPE credit so far offered through myCPE (including those I paid for). Presenter kept a good cadence, brought the right amount of materials for the hour, and went over the answers from polling questions. Will recommend this topic/presenter to others.
