This course is highly conceptual and the instructor did an excellent job of keeping it interesting and practical through 'conversational' explanations. The course material included many helpful statistics and pattern recognitions. The instructor was very thorough and the entire course was professionally executed. If I could add any suggestions it would be to perhaps include a single chart for a better understanding of the Type 1 and Type 2 for SOC1, SOC2, SOC3 sections. As a separate suggestion, I would appreciate MY-CPE providing a course series on I/C documentation, diagramming & explanation: Part 1-Standard business system I/C. Part 2-Deep dive on IT system I/C (including latest technology and initiatives). Part 3-Integration of all of these and BBP. These might each be 2 CPE hours each (both live and on demand.) I think Jennifer Louis would be a great instructor for this series. Thank you.

I think it is better to split the 8-hour class into two sessions, as it is too long and tiring. It is easy to lose focus during these 8 hours. I understand it is more efficient to have the class in one session, but from the participant's perspective, I think I can learn and retain more materials with a maximum of four hours. Another suggestion is that it is better to repost the polling questions with the choices and the answer, and not just the answer. Because not all the answers would be posted instantly after the answer was submitted. By the time the answer is posted, I would like to know why I was wrong. However, I was not able to read the question again. It does not matter for a personal opinion question, but for any technical question, I think it is better to have the question and answer reposted in the chat box.
