Note 2 - Significant Accounting PoliciesExpenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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.

Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No Recommendation: We recommend the procedures related to review of expenses be formally documented to ensure the control process is properly supported and the documentation is retained.
