Student Feedback for Theresa

Theresa replied on 11/28/2011:

Thank you Latonya for the kind words. I enjoyed the lesson and meeting you as well. To benefit any potential employer or student who may read this feedback, I would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on the Lesson, as this one involved not only accounting, but Excel usage. I have used Excel for more than 10 years, and have developed and worked with many complex spreadsheets utilizing multiple applications, functions, and micros, etc., simultaneously within a single workbook over the years. The assignment required Latonya to create journal entries from various described period activity, and then develop financials in Excel based on the known prior year financial account balances and the new period activity. I not only assisted Latonya with identifying needed journal entry corrections, explaining the "why" to any correction, but also showed Latonya how to develop a trial balance and financials in an efficient manner using Excel, establishing cell links to other cells and spreadsheets within the workbook to mitigate the risk of input error and improve the efficiency of the compilation process for future use. I enjoyed sharing my knowledge of a better way to approach the compilation process in Excel in addition to sharing my expertise in accounting, especially the financial reporting component of accounting, as this is one of my favorite parts of the accounting process!
