That test is probably the most difficult thus far. The subjects were complex, but were presented well in the text. I think my only complaint was some of the questions seemed a bit confusing. Of course, that could also have been a lack of understanding on my own part. A, the remit to address for the test sheet listed the wrong suite number. The AIPB professionals were tremendously helpful as always.
Complete study book, thank you.
very good course.
Excellent course. It has clear explanations and examples, and it provides a solid, straight-forward explanation of the different components of the statement of cash flows.
Workbook examples easy to follow
Very cosise text. I would like more exercises.
Haven’t read it yet
I am currently still working on this course. It is very detailed and I am taking it slowly. I highly recommend it to all accountants and bookkeepers. If is a great review course!
This was very challenging but I felt great after I passed
This book made much more sense than my college text book on the same subject!
These are difficult concepts to grasp, but I think this book made it as clear as possible.
The course was very informative and there were plenty of helpful examples.
The course was well written and easy to follow. The quiz and exam questions really helped me understand the steps required in creating a Statement of Cash Flow. My current job doesn’t required me to produce a SCF, but after taking this self-paced course I think I could do it if asked.
The course is ok, hard to understand.
This course is very difficult to read along with and understand. By far the most difficult course I have taken through the AIPB. There is a lot of great information but just very difficult to understand. It took me a long time to complete and had to triple check all the answers at the end of the book. I guess thats why its worth the most CPEC’s.
I have not done any work but I plan to later on. I have seen the book and I think its excellent.
This is an EXCELLENT Tool. Used as reference.
I thought the course was very informative and challenging.
Not Completed Yet
I have not finished the course at this time. Plan to later
The course booklet is layed out very well in my opinion. It goes through step by step. As such, it is a good reference to use.
A good course, comprehensive, worth taking.
Should have more practice on this one instead of just an optional quiz
I HAVE NOT FINISHED THIS COURSE COMPLETELY YET, BUT IT IS HELPING ME UNDERSTAND CASH FLOWS SO MUCH BETTER
Jumps around a lot. Hard to follow at times.
This is a good book for me to study
Has been a great learning tool to help me progress in my career.
This course gave me an understanding for the report that I didn’t have before.
Helped with my current job duties.
This was very difficult…the explanations weren’t clear & it seemed as if there were things asked in the test that weren’t covered in the book. Also, it would help to get tests back to see what was done correctly & what was missed.
