Notes to SEFA

Title: Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Kinteel Residential Campus Inc. under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the School, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the School. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the applicable Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Any negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The program titles and numbers were obtained from the federal or pass-through grantor or the 2023 Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. When no number had been assigned to a program, the two-digit federal agency identifier, a period, and the federal contract number were used. When there was no federal contract number, the two-digit federal agency identifier, a period, and the word unknown were used.

Finding Details

A tribe, tribal organization, or consortia receiving advance payments under the ISDEAA or the Tribally Controlled Schools Act may invest advance payments (some recipients refer to these advanced payments as “deferred revenue”), before such funds are expended for the purposes of the grant, contract, or funding agreement, so long as such funds are (1) invested only in obligations of the United States or in obligations or securities that are guaranteed or insured by the United States, or mutual (or other) funds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which only invest in obligations of the United States or Securities that are guaranteed or insured by the United States or (2) deposited only in accounts that are insured by an agency or instrumentality of the United States. According to the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Protection Act (25 USC 3201 etc. Sec.), the School must conduct a character investigation of each individual who is employed or is being considered for employment in a position that involves regular contact with, or control over Indian children. The investigation should be reinvestigated every five years. The Act further states that the Schools may employ individuals in those positions only if the individuals meet standards of character, no less stringent thatn those prescribed under subpart B – Minimum Standards of Character and Suitability for Employment (25 CFR part 63).

Additionally, the Campus is required, except where otherwise authorized by statute, to ensure costs meet the general criteria outlined in 2 CFR 200.403 in order to be allowable under federal awards, including the costs be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the federal award and be allocable thereto under these principles.
