Title: Note 3 – Reconciliation to Schedule of Intergovernmental Revenue
Accounting Policies: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Report Entity
The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activities of federal award programs expended by Faribault County. The County’s reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the financial statements. Faribault County’s financial statements include the operations of the Faribault County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) component unit, which expended $309,532 in federal awards during the year ended December 31, 2022, which are not included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Our audit does not include the operations of the Faribault County HRA because it is legally separate from the County, and because it expended less than $750,000 of federal awards for the year ended December 31, 2022, it was not subject to Uniform Guidance audit requirements.
