Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: 1. REPORTING ENTITYThe accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the SEFA) presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City. 2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGThe SEFA 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in this SEFA may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESExpenditures reported on the SEFA are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. These 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. Negative amounts shown on the SEFA, if any, represent, adjustments or credits made in the normal course to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. 4. INDIRECT COST RATEThe City has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. 5. DONATED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (UNAUDITED)During the emergency period of COVID-19, federal agencies and recipients of federal assistance funds donated personal protective equipment (PPE) to non-federal entities. In connection with that donation, the recipient must disclose the estimated value of the donated PPE, but such amounts are not included in the SEFA. The City did not receive any PPE donations funded by federal assistance funds during the reporting year.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
