Completely satisfied
The book is concise and well-organized.
Good material, very informative for professionals in the retail and the banking industry. Focus on safeguarding the firm assets.
A course everyone should take. Very informative and to the point.
Good book with very good information that all business owners should know.
Internal Controls and Fraud Prevention are both critical topics in which individuals really need to grasp – Especially from a bookkeeping and audit perspective. The AIPB has done a great job at providing a high level overview of a very sensitive topic.
Excellent
Very imformative course. Learned a lot. Thanks AIPB for the training!
Excellent. Learned some new things.
While this course contains some very valuable information, it is out of touch (with the 21st century technology) and lacking in several areas; which I hope AIPB expands upon and goes into much more depth – in the very near future. Nonetheless, this course is worth taking and offers some common sense guidelines for basic inter-office and plant controls designed to discourage less than desirable behavior.
This is mostly common sense but good for a beginner in this industry.
Well written, the quizzes at the end of each section were very helpful for the workbook exam.
This was an informative course. I now keep my eyes open for things I wouldn’t necessarily have before taking this course.
Easy to understand the internal controls and fraud
Book very clear, subjects and illustrations closes to the daily realities.
Excellent
