Good
Excellent material very thorough.
Interesting and informative
The course is very good but needs more practice questions
Good introduction to Cash Flows
Amazing book with all the questions and final examen. Thanks.
Very good – well written
I have enjoyed learning from each training guide. The layout works well for my style of learning.
I felt the material was very difficult to follow and would have been better if I had a taken a live class.
Help and great
Very informative
Plenty of examples and quizzes
I really like the way the training materials are put together. They are set up to help you succeed
This book offers invaluable advice on how to look at and prepare a cashflow statement.Good book for anyone with prior knowledge on how the three financial statements of CF, Balance Sheet, and IS links together. This book is the next step towards further deeper understanding.
This course was very thourough and provided an in-depth look at the Statement of Cash Flows. Highly recommended.
I feel the Statement of Cash Flows is a helpful resource in understanding how this financial statement is prepared. I do believe it was good to learn both the direct and indirect methods even though you feel frustrated trying to remember the appropriate increases/decreases between the two methods. At times I felt this book was hard due to the fact that an SCF in my job is very simple compared to how indepth they can be depending on the size and type of business. However, this book does breakdown the process step-by-step and as I stated earlier, it provides a helpful resource in understanding the SCF process.
I like the clear and understandable way the material in the course is laid out. It was easy to follow.
