Course #F110-19 Accounting for Leases

This course was good in that it clearly explained the treatment of the various types of leases and upcoming changes for accounting treatment and impact on the balance sheet of these changes.

A very good reference document

I thought this course covered everything well. The only reason I gave it 4 stars versus 5 was that the author included his opinion in a few places. For a training course, I don't think these opinions should have been included.
