The lecture was fine and sound. It was peacfully delivered with a relaxed voice that really passed the desired messages.

I like all that was said as current standards were well explained. They were relevant to accounting and auditing practices.

Wrong Questions and Misleading Options

For some of the questions, more specifically "ISA Definition of Accounting Estimates" section. The first question referenced accounting estimates and the correct option related to ISA 540. ISA 540 is an auditing standard. The second question (Which of the following is not true about fair-value) has 2 correct options.Fair value is an entry-specific measurement and Fair value is defined by IFRS 31.
