Notes to SEFA
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. The amounts reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the federal financial reports for the applicable program and periods. The amounts reported in these reports are prepared from records maintained for each program, which are reconciled with the Districts financial reporting system. Negative amounts (if any) shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Matching costs (the Districts share of certain program costs) are not included in the reported expenditures. Non-monetary assistance is reported in the schedule at the fair market value of commodities received, which is provided by New York State.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
