Funds received under the various grant programs have been recorded within the special revenue, capital projects, and enterprise funds of the City. The City utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting for the special revenue and capital projects funds, and accrual basis of accounting for the enterprise funds. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in, the preparation of Citys basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City. Federal financial assistance received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal financial assistance passed through the State of California, is included in the Schedule.
