Title: Note 2 ‐ Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: Note 1 ‐ Basis of Accounting
The District accounts for all awards under federal programs in the General and Certain Special Revenue Funds in accordance
with the Texas Education Agency’s Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. These programs are accounted for using
a current financial resources measurement focus.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for these funds. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the
accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures in the
accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources.
Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and
accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as unearned revenues until earned. Generally, unused balances
are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods.
Noncash commodities are recorded at their fair value at the time of donation. The District has elected not to use the 10
percent de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: See note 1, paragraph 4, last sentence.
