I have taken a couple of Dr. Minniti's CPE courses and he has yet to disappoint. He has the rare skill of breaking down the more complicated aspects of a topic and explaining it in a manner that makes it easier to understand. This makes it easier for me to get a good grasp of a topic and apply it.

This was the best presentation I've seen on forensic accounting, and the instructor was a pro. I've been a forensic accountant for many, many years with 21 letters after my name, everything he said was relevant and concise.
