Accounting Analytics

In first for weeks all the analytics are explained and decisions are shown, in the last week only principles and overall concepts are introduced.

The last week will be of more benefit as I help business organization within my company develop their business strategies.

The last week is pretty interesting though!I am taking the full business analytic course - and find that the quality and complexity of content is all over the place!!

The last week felt very disconnected from the first week and like it belonged in a different course almost.

4 stars since the last week felt under-done and repetitive within itself.

The last weeks lecture was too much theoretical.

The lecturer is decent at best but read quiz questions very carefully as there are slight word changes that are easy to miss.The most helpful part of this class was the last week (measuring the financial impact of non-financial things).

Really great course, the last week is really easy and with another teacher so was a bit sad to change but still great.

Barring the last week (thus that star), couldn't have been worse.

both professors were very professional and competent Awesome course, I have really enjoyed the last week when the linkage between non financial metric and financial performance is established and so many important ideas are discussed , it's like a perfect resume of the whole specialization program.

Specially Prof. Bushee, he made the lessons so interactive and fun!

Prof. Bushee is hilarious,, really like his teaching technique not a big fan of accounting honestly, but i quite enjoy the course.

Thank you Prof. Bushee!

Hope you will continue to produce more The Capstone project has been getting delayed since JanDont expect yourself to complete the specialization There was a gap between the prerequisites mentioned on the course details and those stated by Prof. Bushee during the lectures.

Kudos and Cheers, Prof. Bushee and Prof. Itner !

Prof. Bushee made the concepts very clear and helpful.

I want to thank Prof. Bushee for his fantastic accounting classes.

No numbers used .Rest was Fantastic and a great leaning experience.The lectures on earning management was very nice and interesting HORRIBLE professor for the first three weeks.

The first three weeks needed Problem Sets to apply the learning, something that greatly enhanced the Operations Analytics course.

The first three weeks have many supporting Excel files, but topics this challenging would have benefited greatly from practice questions and scenarios, similar to those found in Operational Analytics.

The first three weeks didn't relate to the first three courses of this specialization and seemed more centred around forensic accounting.

He makes every lecuture interesting and easy to understand.

In terms of the spreadsheets, I thought that the Original, the Ratios and the CommonSize tabs were fairly straight forward and relatively easy to understand.

Professor Bushee is interesting and although what he teach is quite difficult for beginner, he tries hard to make it fun and easy to understand.

The presentation of complex material was easy to understand and with great humor.

Highly recommended to those who wants to dive deeper to the next level of ratios and earning management strategy.

The big data prediction models for earning management tracing were good... Great course supplement for business professionals.

Business Analytics are almost exclusively outside of the financial forensic world whereby earning management and fraud topics are relevant.

It equipped me with a good knowledge of financial statements analysis and earning management basics.

I enrolled in the Business Analytics Specialization course with a focus on analyzing a business from the inside, not outside.

The best course in this Business Analytics specialization!

It is a very good course, bur i expected more from Business analytics and is more for auditors.

Interesting examples on how to identify number management and how analytics can help to set up non-financial metrics that drive financial outcomes.

Not just because it gives you the frame and the foundations of Financial Analysis, but also because it gives the insight of the importance of other non-financial metrics in the financial performance.

Thanks Linking non-financial metrics wasn't very informative.

In this course I learned very useful models that I started applying to real life work projects right away.

Pls enhance course content on similar real life case studies and regression models around financial statements analytics.

useful in terms of how to dig into accounting statementsI would have appreciated other pratical applications examples apart from earnings management or frauds detection Fantstic course.

The big data block is not actually about the big data, it still gives you a good overview of how to identify earnings management on a greater scale.

Nice learning experience Prof. Bushee is simply amazing Best learning experience on Coursera!

I found Professor Ittner very enjoyable and entertaining.

I wish I could say the same for Professor Ittner.

I think that it would help the students to have some in-line quizzes – this not only breaks up the longer videos and helps to keep students focused but also provides a reinforcement of key concepts.

I think in-line quizzes or practice questions would be helpful for students – perhaps ones that asked students to do specific things in the spreadsheet and come back with an answer.
