# BDO Pathway to Success: 2026–2027 dates and who should register

## Investigate the dues gap

Original fictional preparation exercise. No real member information is used.

### An aggregate gap is not a list of nonpayers

| Input | Value | Question |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Members | 80 | Does the roster cover the same period? |
| Dues per member | $25 | Any approved exceptions or partial payments? |
| Expected total | $2,000 | 80 × $25 |
| Recorded receipts | $1,875 | Are refunds, fees or other receipts mixed in? |

## Your turn

Calculate the gap and explain why it does not prove that exactly five members failed to pay.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Use the official event registration and keep its date separate from every internship application deadline.
