Excellent
very helpful
This was an interesting course, as I work directly with a Certified Fraud Investigator. I would have enjoyed a more indepth course, but do think the basics were well covered.
This book was very educational. I learned a great, great deal about the subject.
I passed this test and I realized that I already knew most of the content it helped me brush up on them.
I like reading the handbook, it is an eye opener.
I found this workbook informative and it covered areas that I hadn’t considered when thinking of internal controls.
good info
My comment for the adjusting entries applies to this section also
I love this book
helpful
Great information that reinforced many my beliefs concerning fraud prevention.
Excellent course, very thorough. I learned some things about this curriculum that I didn’t know before.
Easy to follow material. The exercises are very good.
All of the AIPB continuing education books are very well done. Easy to understand verbage and a lot of examples and problems to work through. The two quizzes at the end of each chapter are extremely helpful by making it another tool to test how well you are understanding the subject matter.
Above expectation
GOOD
Would like to take the class online.
very good
Valuable for all bookkeepers.
Well written and makes one stop and think why internal controls are so important to a company. Easy to follow and gives easy ways to set up internal controls for companys.
This course was great! Very understandable.
There was a lot of good, usable information in this course. The format made it easy to learn. It is in my reference library to use on the job.
Lots of various ways to check for fraud. Needs more about “tech” fraud, scams, phishing and how to “prevent”. This can be a serious “cash drain” on an unsuspecting small or large business.
It was very helpful!!!
Internal Controls and Fraud Prevention is a vary informative publication for any business. It is very much like SOX compliance and is worth reading and utilizing.
Easy to follow.
All courses I took prepared me well for the exam, were easily understood, and relevant.
good
