This presentation, we’re going to enter a transaction related to a pledge and our accounting system. Get ready, because here we go with aplos. Here we are in our not for profit organization dashboard, let’s jump on over to Excel to see what our objective will be. We are in Excel, we’re in tab number three, we’re now recording a pledge. Now the pledge is going to be similar to the contribution. However, we haven’t got the money yet. So it’s a promise to pay. If you compare this to a for profit type of organization, the contribution would be similar to us doing the goods or services at the same point in time that we get paid. And you can imagine given a sales receipt, like at the register, at that point, and then the pledge is going to be similar to us doing a service or providing goods before we get paid.
