Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation: Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The School has elected to use the ten percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Cheder Toras Zev (the School) under programs of the federal government for the year ended August 31, 2021. The information in this 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 (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the School, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the School.
Title: Child Nutrition Programs Cluster: Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The School has elected to use the ten percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The School was approved by the State of New Jersey’s Department of Agriculture, under the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act of 1966, to operate the Child Nutrition Programs which includes both the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program. The program enables the School to offer free or reduced-priced meals to eligible students.
Title: Use of Estimates: Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The School has elected to use the ten percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Title: Subsequent Events: Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The School has elected to use the ten percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Management considers events and transaction that occur after the financials statement date, but before the financial statements are issued, to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. These financial statements were available to be issued on January 24, 2024, and subsequent events have been evaluated through that date.
