Title: Basis of Accounting Accounting Policies: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The accompanying schedule summarizes the federal expenditures of the College under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2023. The amounts reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the College’s general ledger. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net margins and cash flows of the College. For purposes of the schedule, federal awards include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly with the federal government and other pass through entities. Payments received for goods or services provided as a vendor do not constitute federal awards for purposes of the schedule. The College has obtained Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) to ensure that all programs have been identified in the Schedule. ALNs have been appropriately listed by applicable programs. Federal programs with different ALNs that are closely related because they share common compliance requirements are defined as a cluster by the Uniform Guidance. One cluster was identified in the schedule as follows: Student Financial Aid Cluster ‐ This cluster includes awards that assist agencies in providing financial assistance to eligible students attending eligible institutions of postsecondary education. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate.
