I like the timing and content of this course for two reasons:
a) it forced me to revisit the notes I'd taken from prior courses
b) solidify my understanding of the more abstract concepts, especially contract modification accounting and distinct/non-distinct activities.
There are still errors in the presentation that I encourage the authors to rectify for future students.
Taking a step back, the set of courses offered towards the 606: revenue from contract with customers is excellent value. It sets up a great foundation from which to build on. The author, to a decent extent, covers the breadth of guidance. It bears to note that it is still incumbent on the student to pick up the guidance in specific areas.

Ms. Fountain is a thorough instructor for this seemingly "endless" topic. She does an excellent job dissecting intricacies of the standard as written by FASB. While audio/video is a bit monotonous, but the supplemental materials are excellent in supporting her narrative. Do make sure to use them along with the audio stream!

More ASC606 from Lynn Fountain has reinforced what I have learned from taking her pervious ASC606 courses. I believe there are eight in total and this is my seventh. Can't get enough of Lynn's courses and love the way she handles the ASC606.
Way to go Lynn......we need more courses from you :)

I think this case scenarios course is the most important of all the course. It puts all of what we've learned in the first half of the class to the test with real life case scenarios. Some of the topics I believed I understood fully until I got to the case scenarios. Excellent course!

Enforceability of a contract is is a matter of law. Several common law requirements must be
met for a contract to exist.
