I am a Controller for a food manufacturer and this is a review of what we go through on a monthly basis. Most of the transactions are automated, but reviewing the variances monthly is a large part of out workload.

I was a little concern with the white board approach, but in the end, I thought it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Erik does a great job going through the steps and was easy to follow.

Great basic course on assigning costs and recording the accounting entries. I liked how the instructor "showed his work" for each step of the problem (writing out the equation, etc.).
