Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: 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 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 financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The District did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. The District used an indirect cost rate that was approved by the Arizona Department of Education. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the District's federal grant activity for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the District.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The District did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. The District used an indirect cost rate that was approved by the Arizona Department of Education. The program titles and Federal Assistance Listings numbers were obtained from the federal or passthrough grantor or the 2023 Federal Assistance Listings. When no Federal Assistance Listings number had been assigned to a program, the 2-digit federal agency identifier and the federal contract number were used. When there was no federal contract number, the 2-digit federal agency identifier and the word “unknown” were used.
Title: Non-cash Assistance Accounting Policies: 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 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 financial statements.
