Правление подсчитало взносы.

Here Правление means the board, the management board, or the governing body of an organization.

It is a neuter singular noun in Russian. Even though it refers to a group of people, Russian treats it grammatically as one unit, so the verb is singular too.

In the past tense, Russian verbs agree with the subject in gender and number.

Here the subject is Правление, which is neuter singular, so the past tense form is:

• masculine: подсчитал
• feminine: подсчитала
• neuter: подсчитало
• plural: подсчитали

So подсчитало means counted / calculated with a neuter singular subject.

The dictionary form is подсчитать.

That is the infinitive, meaning to count up, to calculate, or to total.

So:

• подсчитать = to count up / calculate
• подсчитало = counted / calculated

Подсчитать is perfective.

That means it presents the action as completed: the board finished counting the dues/contributions.

Its imperfective partner is usually подсчитывать, which would focus more on the process or repeated action.

So the sentence suggests a completed result:

• Правление подсчитало взносы. = The board counted up the dues / finished calculating the contributions.

Правление is in the nominative case, because it is the subject of the sentence.

You can tell it is the thing doing the action:

• Правление = the board
• подсчитало = counted up
• взносы = dues / contributions

So Правление is nominative singular.

Взносы is in the accusative plural, because it is the direct object of the verb подсчитало.

The board counted what? → взносы

For inanimate masculine nouns in the plural, the accusative plural looks the same as the nominative plural.

So:

• nominative plural: взносы
• accusative plural: взносы

That is why the form does not change here.

The singular is взнос.

So the forms are:

• singular: взнос
• plural: взносы

Depending on context, взнос can mean payment, contribution, fee, installment, or dues. In this sentence, взносы most naturally means something like dues, fees, or contributions.

Russian has no articles like English the or a/an.

So Правление подсчитало взносы can mean:

• The board counted the dues
• The board counted dues
• A board counted the contributions

Which English version is best depends on context, but Russian does not mark that distinction with articles.

The word order here is the most neutral one:

• Правление = subject
• подсчитало = verb
• взносы = object

So this is a normal subject–verb–object sentence.

Russian word order is more flexible than English, so other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Взносы правление подсчитало.
• Подсчитало правление взносы.

But the original version sounds neutral and straightforward.

Yes, it refers to a group of people, but grammatically it is a singular collective noun.

Russian often treats organizations, institutions, and governing bodies as singular entities. So even though a board contains several people, Russian says:

• Правление подсчитало...
  not
• Правление подсчитали...

In English, this is similar to using singular with words like the committee or the government in some varieties of English.

Yes, often it can.

But подсчитать usually has the sense of counting up carefully or calculating a total, not just reciting numbers one by one.

So depending on context, good translations include:

• counted
• counted up
• calculated
• totaled up

A rough pronunciation guide is:

Правление подсчитало взносы
prav-LYE-nee-ye pad-shi-TA-luh VZNO-sy

A few useful notes:

• взносы begins with a consonant cluster: vz-
• the stress is:
  • правлЕние
  • подсчитАло
  • взнОсы

If you want to sound more natural, it helps to listen to native audio, because unstressed vowels are reduced in Russian.

Yes. Правление can have several meanings depending on context, for example:

• board / governing body / administration
• rule / reign in historical or political contexts

But in this sentence, because it is doing an administrative action like counting взносы, the meaning board or management is the natural one.
