Title: Subrecipients
Accounting Policies: The accounting policies of the Housatonic Area Regional Transit District (the District) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental organizations. The information in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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). BASIS OF ACCOUNTING: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards has been prepared on the accrual basis consistent with the preparation of the basic financial statements.

These grant program receipts are reflected in the expenditure column of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Because the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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 fund balances, changes in net position or cash flows of the District.
