Notes to SEFA

Title: Federal Direct Student Loans Program Accounting Policies: The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented using the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles prescribed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which conform to generally accepted governmental accounting principles. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable. Revenues designated for payment of specific School expenditures are recognized when the related expenditures are incurred. Any excess of revenues or expenditures at the fiscal year end is recorded as unearned revenue or a receivable, respectively. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The School has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate for its federal programs. For the Federal Direct Student Loans Program, the School is only responsible for the performance of certain administrative duties and is not considered to be the lender of the funds; therefore, the fund balance and transactions of this loan program are not included in the School's basic financial statements. Federal Direct Student Loan Program: Unsubsidized $229,263 (Cash Received) $199,182 (Revenue Recognized); Subsidized $140,564 (Cash Received) $129,301 (Revenue Recognized); Plus $4,444 (Cash Received) $3,965 (Revenue Recognized)
Title: Pell Grant Accounting Policies: The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented using the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles prescribed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which conform to generally accepted governmental accounting principles. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable. Revenues designated for payment of specific School expenditures are recognized when the related expenditures are incurred. Any excess of revenues or expenditures at the fiscal year end is recorded as unearned revenue or a receivable, respectively. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The School has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate for its federal programs. These funds are received by the School on behalf of students enrolled in the practical nursing program. These grants are awarded to the students and are applied in the amount receivable from the student for tuition income. Therefore, these grants are recorded as tuition income within the practical nursing fund as opposed to federal revenue.
