This course provides learners a comprehensive understanding of Advanced Topics in Financial Accounting. The cases are practical and helpful in the real life. I would like to say thanks a lot to the instructor, Associate Professor Urcan, and Coursera for the excellent connection over the world.
This professor is wonderful! He explains things in a way that makes this potential complex topic simple to understand. He is committed to ensuring his students understand the material and adds an element of humor through his teachings.
Fantastic class, even for those that do not have an accounting background. Incredibly, Prof. Urcan taught multiple advanced topics without ever using the terms 'debit' or 'credit'.
The advanced topics on the financial accounting have been really an interesting journey. I have more confidence in what I do now. Looking forward to the other courses of this specialization.

The Professor for this course, Oktay Urcan is an incredible guide and motivator. His course layout and extra assignments help a long way in the understanding the course better.
This course was perfect for someone who has had exposure to accounting in work or school before, but maybe has not practiced it. It has great coverage, but superficial depth, so it is more appropriate for managers or technical staff that want to understand high-level concepts than for accountants.
I highly value the actual data from the industry of Financial Statement used by this program. This somehow gave me a working experience on what to look at the Financial Statement.
This also trains the financial eye to become critical on the information in particular the notes of the financial statement.
I felt more confident now after taking this course.
This course was as intresting as previouse one. IMHO you shoudn`t split cousres about financil accounting in foundations and advanced levels because they are two parts of a whole.
Thanks to professor Oktay, though I have no background in accounting, the course was very helpful to understand the accounting principles covering advanced topics and concepts.
Briliant! I went from 0 to 100 in a month - compact, clear and meaningful. Prof Urcan is a great teacher. Do both certificates in fundamentals and advanced.
I think accounting is one of the more challenging courses in an MBA. The professor does a wonderful job explaining accounting and gives lots of examples.
Presented in a manner that is easy to understand. I like that the coursework is presented as a slide first. Then, the lecture goes over the slides.
A lot of information to learn in such shorts sessions, but I felt the info and professors delivery kept my interest and challenged my thinking.
I have learned a lot from this course. All the materials and methodologies involved here are interesting and very helpful. I recommend an
Excellent course, the topics in which are very useful for accountants, auditors, management and accountancy students. Highly recommended.
Great presentations. Complex subjects are presented clearly. Also good materials that I could download for future reference.
Nice course, the lectures are well-organized and illustrated with good examples and explanations.
The only imperfection is that participants seem scarce, I had to wait a few days before my assignments were reviewed.
Actually, I've helped several classmates who have been waiting for even longer, maybe the course TAs can help with that?
