Everything related to the development of this information was privately funded with the time and financial resources of a small handful of small business people who work outside of the bookkeeping and accounting industry. The contributors for this have worked as an informal team with no contractual agreements and no guaranteed monetary gains. And increase in Global Financial Literacy has been our overarching goal and our intention is to continue to build out education and software systems with voluntary financial support from a global community. May your conscience and karma be your guide.
