You actually summed up a whole lecture to a 6 minute video. Thanks for the 15 marks!!

[grissinger]

This is so helpful, taking an auditing class with NO lectures is stressful to me. I'm expected to just read the book (4 chapters/week) and understand everything. Thank you for these videos!!!

[rdainec]

Thank you very much! Your videos helped me a lot!

[nilybe]

Yes, thank you. I retain better as a visual/hearing learner rather than reading

[likhayakweila]

*Great educational finance video; implementing these practices are bound to encourage transparency & accountability, which are imperative in any **business.Now** if government accounts were strictly audited employing these practices, then there would never be any room for corruption via kickbacks (taking money under the table), bribes, inflated contract prices & the likes, and the people of the country would be getting value for money everytime.*
