The level of details provided is very good and covers the key items related to this stage of the audit. The speaker/presenter is good but it will be more helpful if there is a PDF file that covers this course similar with the other courses available in Proformative/Illumeo.

Course had fairly good content but materials were weaker than most. Too much of the time was spent with just stock photos/images on the screen instead of an outline of the information being presented.

I liked Blair's systematic and detailed explanations of how the audit progresses and is eventually completed, along with tips to look for when evaluating the results of audit procedures.

Very informative. I like that it confirms what I'm doing in the classroom. It actually surprised me how similar to the way I teach. Educators would greatly benefit.
