CULTURAL COUNCIL OF NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PALM BEACH COUNTY, INC.
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
7. Pledges Receivable
Pledges receivable consist of unconditional promises to give from individuals. Pledges that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at their net realizable value, while those that are expected to be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of their estimated future cash flows. The discount on those amounts is computed using an interest rate applicable to the years in which the promises are received (1.0% as of the date of the capital campaign/major gift). Pledges receivable as of September 30, 2022 was $50,000.
Management believes that pledges receivable are fully collective and, therefore, no allowance for uncollectible receivables was considered necessary.
