Accounting and Auditing for Trusts and Estates

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Course!
Review: This course is excellent and a "must see" for any accountant who is contemplating serving or currently serving as a trustee or other fiduciary. The instructor, Mr. Ostrove, obviously has a wealth of information and experience to offer. He provides a sobering viewpoint about fiduciary engagements. You learn in this course that serving as a fiduciary can have significant responsibilities, potential for liability, and, sometimes, little compensation.

The technical material in this course is excellent. Specific subjects that were of interest to me were well covered in the course, including "accounting income;" depreciation and depletion; and the difference between income and principal. The course book is an excellent reference guide. The DVD itself is well organized with a table of contents and therefore can also serve as a reference tool.

I highly recommend this DVD and accompanying course book.
