TOP REVIEWS FROM LIABILITIES AND EQUITY IN ACCOUNTING

by VGAug 19, 2021

There are many practical examples, and the way they explain the concepts make it easy to understand. Althouhg, they need to improve the case studies, their spreadsheets and some calculations seem off.

by JDJun 3, 2022

There seems to be some missing information for the Case Study. The beginning cash account balance appears to be off, or there is a transaction missing.

by JYMar 8, 2023

the knowledge and practices are not as many as those in assets. And FICA is only applicable to US tax

by VRFeb 17, 2022

Overall this was a good course. My issue was the case study wasn't in balance to start with so my impossible to see if I needed t correct something or it was from an error from last period.
