5.5 CPE In the past few years, the FASB has released several significant accounting standards which have brought about sometimes sweeping changes to U.S. GAAP. Many of these new standards have required significant resources and sometimes lengthy implementation times.
This course focuses on the key requirements from what is commonly referred to as the “Big 3”. This includes the new standards related to revenue recognition, leases, and credit losses on financial instruments. Even though some of the Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) which drove these changes have been out for years, many entities have still yet to adopt all the requirements.

It's organized neatly and it's easier to follow with all the necessary details. I like the thought process of the material presentations in the text and also gets updated with the current year change notes. It would be helpful if there are some detailed example illustration and accounting entry details, showing before and after effects on financials.

While the material in this course was thorough, I felt it packed too much into a single course. The concepts for each of the three big FASB changes are quite detailed and complex. A course that discusses all three should probably be more of an overview, with standalone courses being more appropriate for in-depth discussion.

The course provides a great overview of the three big accounting standards. The course will provide you a great introductory step into these standards. The guide is great and provides some real-life examples to go through and understand.

The significant level of changes made to two of the most common technical areas I'm involved with - Lease and revenue recognition - are amazing. Excellent summary and examples for all three areas.

The information presented was helpful and straightforward. However I did see several typos and incorrect words throughout the text that should be corrected to make this course better.

This course was a bit difficult due to lack of previous knowledge and reading through the course materials instead of instructed lead. Overall, the course was very educational.

Provided in depth training on three of the biggest guidance changes in previous years. In some ways a good refresher, other ways provided additional information to apply daily.

Much of this material was also covered in the individual topics from the same instructor. I wish I had done this one first, as I would have skipped some of the others.

In my opinion, this class cover very complicated topics that affect many businesses. The course material will be good to have to go back and refer to if/when needed.

Course was very good, if there was a video in my opnion it'd be even better. Nevertheless, it approached all subjects very easily and in a dinamic way.

I am not a fan of the text based courses, I feel they lack a certain life to them. I would have to have this course done in a video session

This was a text based course - meaning it's just a pdf of information that you read, followed by an exam.
