Notes to SEFA
Title: Scope of presentation
Accounting Policies: The expenditures included in the accompanying SEFA were reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are incurred when the City becomes obligated for payment as a result of the receipt of the related goods and services. Expenditures reported included any property or equipment acquisitions incurred under the federal program. Negative amounts, if presented on the SEFA, represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The City has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance where allowable.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) presents only the expenditures incurred by the City of Twentynine Palms, California (City) that are reimbursable under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in the SEFA is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position/fund balance, or cash flows of the City. For the purposes of the SEFA, federal awards include both federal financial assistance received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received indirectly by the City from a non-federal agency or other organization. Only the portion of program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds are reported in the accompanying SEFA. Program expenditures in excess of the maximum federal reimbursement authorized or the portion of the program expenditures that were funded with state, local or other non-federal funds are excluded from the accompanying SEFA.
