Hello,
I'm translating an accounting segment for a non-profit, and I'm a bit stuck on this item in a detailed profit and loss account:
"628100 CONCOURS DIVERS (COTISATIONS,...)"
It's the "cotisation" part that's throwing me off, since none of the terms I've seen that relate to banking seem to really fit here (I'm assuming it relates to membership dues, but that may not be the case). It seems like it should be pretty straightforward, but I can't seem to find the answer!
Any suggestions from accounting specialists would be welcome! UK English is fine.
Thanks in advance.
