Some of you may have heard that Harvard Business School does not teach introductory accounting classes anymore. One of the reasons is that they use an online accounting software from a BYU professor, who is now providing his course for free.
Has some pretty good exposure and some top endorsements, so it might be worth checking out. Linked below.

Would SB you if I could. Thanks for this great source!
Thanks man!
This is fantastic, thank you!!
Appreciate it, kind sir.
This seems like a great resource, definitely will check it out after CFA exams!
I'm going to check this out BEFORE the CFA exam!
Jesus...the professor, Norm Nemrow is a boss.
Thanks for sharing. This is great.
Thank you good sir
This is awesome! Thanks and SB!
Amazing! Thank you so much.
Love this. Been needing to brush up.
Much appreciated thanks.
Is there something like this for the finance side? (for us accountants)
As ex-Big4, believe me... I wish.
However, you can get REALLY good information from the guides right here on WSO, and the websites Ibankingfaq and Mergers and Inquisitions (BWIS guides).
Damodaran's webpage has all his MBA-level classes and materials on corporate finance, Valuation and Investment Philosophies.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. SB'ed!
Thanks so much! Trying out course 1 right now
Stormin Norman the Mormon! This was BYUs Accounting 200 course for years, prerequisite for their top ranked accounting program. Took it from Master Nemrow the last semester he taught. Fantastic material, thanks for posting!
I remember those videos back at BYU--they were great. I heard that Kay Stice recently made an updated set recently.
Much needed. Thank you patrick
I posted this the other week, and I think a pretty nice companion (also free) to that site:

This is incredible!!! Thanks for posting!
will be using this. thanks!
Thanks for this! It looks awesome, however... Is anyone else getting a 'PlaybackError' for the video that should be playing in the top left corner. I've tried this in IE and Chrome and I'm having the same issue. I also sent a note to the Tech Support but haven't heard back. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it because at this point I'm stuck.
That is typically caused by a firewall interrupting the video stream. You can add our url to the firewall exception list and that should fix the issue. However, I think the easiest solution is to use our new HTML5 app that we are developing. It is till in beta form but it it build on a very powerful content delivery network and should get around the firewall issue. I can't post a URL but if you edit the apps current url from .com/languageofbusiness2013v2/acw.html to .com/webapp then you can login to the beta version.
Is the site working for everyone else? Just tried it and am getting Database Error "Error establishing a database connection"
Server had a glitch for a few minutes... everything is up and working.
Why hello, you're welcome for posting a link to your website here :).
I used the software myself during undergrad and loved it. Tell the boss man thanks for me.
Awesome, SB for you!
Thanks OP
To the guys that have tried it, can you post a few thoughts about the program? How is the quality and depth of information provided and how easy is it to absorb via the videos? I am planning on getting the $49 advanced financial accounting module in addition to the free one after the CFA exams.
I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of the information. I was thinking they would be short lectures on basic topics, but there is a shocking amount of information. Each of the lectures come with practice problems that the lecturer walks through later if you want them. The coolest feature for me was the ability to speed up the lecture to get through the lesson in half of the time. Haven't tried any of the advanced courses yet, but am planning on the advanced financial accounting as well.
Sounds great, thanks for the input!
Good resource to brush up with. Recommended.
I took this course my freshman year. Great overview of basic accounting principles.
i recommend this plus solving problems from any good textbook during your free time.
Thank you for posting this here!
This is really helpful!
Looks like an excellent resource - thanks!
You, my friend, are wonderful.
Very cool, thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing!
...and then you realize that you can't open it on the iPad.
Is the site still operational? Getting an unknown web address error.
