Ann Randall, CPA (US)

I thought this was great. I realize I'm a bit prejudiced because I am so interested in this topic, but I felt that it included a great mix of background and practical application. If I have one complaint, it would be his reading of the slides, but the content was terrific I thought.

CD

Claudia Deodati, CIA

The content of the course is impressive. It reaches hte balance between providing the big picture and the granularity of information (frameworks, standards, practical examples). The only negative point is that the slides are read and this makes it a bit hard.
