TOP REVIEWS FROM ADVANCED FINANCIAL REPORTING: ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Good to equip yourself with, and very informative on business mergers.
Thank you for everything. I will utilize the knowledge that I get from this course.
A well-structured and delivered course. The only peeve I had was the writing in some of the lecture videos. It was difficult to understand at times.
The professor is a total success, well explained and subjects are easy to develop because of his way with students. Thank you!!
