    I loved this course. I have 11 years of experience in Finance. I have worked in Big 4 public accounting firm - PwC for 10 years. I wanted to brush up my accounting basics and I opted for this course. The course has been drafted so well with practical examples. The makers have ensured that each an every aspect of basic accounting is well understood by student. This is quite an interactive course. The makers have included multiple choice question/s in each lesson to ensure the understanding. Thank you for your efforts!
