Good course, but title was a bit misleading. Rather than being and overview of IFRS, this was really a definition of assets + liabilities followed by a discussion of going concern and FV accoutning.

The course provides a high level overview of the inputs to drafting financial statements, but it is not an all encompassing training. This is just the tip of the iceberg

I liked the general overview. It gave a good foundation to build upon. I would like more detail and maybe a basic XYZ guide for financial statement form and content.

This course gives a good, quick understanding of the concept of fair value. More examples would have been welcome. I will look at other videos from this lecturer.

I found all the fair value information to be interesting and helpful. Surprisingly not that different from GAAP.

The course gave a good overview of IFRS. Explaining the methods of measuring FV was the most beneficial piece .

This was a good overview course, but spent a bit too much time on fair value techniques.

The focus was more on Fair valuation, expected more details on other aspects as well.
