Notes to SEFA
Title: Note 1.
Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are reported on the modified
accrual or accrual basis of accounting based on the fund type of the program. Such expenditures are
recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of
expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented
in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in or used in the preparation of the basic financial
statements. Revenue from federal awards is recognized when the District has done everything
necessary to establish its right to revenue. For governmental funds, revenue from federal awards is
recognized when it is both measurable and available. Expenditures of federal awards are recognized in
the accounting period when the liability is incurred.
