Reflections on Advanced Excel Workshop - Held on 19th February 2012 at SIRC of ICAI

Folks,

Herewith I have listed few of the feedback received on workshop on Advanced Excel.



CA. Senthil kumar, Partner, N.Muthukumaraswamy & Co., Chartered Accountants.
At the outset, I appreciate your enormous effort on the CPE Meeting held on Feb 19, 2012 "Advanced Excel for CA's". Really its very informative and useful for all those who attended. Apart from that, I learned from you that how GKR approach one case / issue (during the session you deliver 3 P's for learning Excel 1. Planning, 2. Patience 3. Practice, which I thought highlight of the show). Once again GKR proved his Pioneer Faculty skills through his lucid manner of communication and made full (6 hours) as interesting one.
