What learners say
Contract modification and recalculation is the hardest part of RAR and the part clients hit in month two. Good that it has a full module and a project.
I came from audit knowing IFRS 15 thoroughly. This connected the standard to the system faster than our implementation partner managed.
The reconciliation module is what you actually get asked about in interviews. Very practical.
