Rate Explanation: Note 2. Basis of Presentation
Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards requires an annual audit of any entity expending a total amount of federal awards equal to
or in excess of $750,000 in any fiscal year unless by constitution or statute a less frequent audit is required. In accordance
with the Indiana Code (IC 5-11-1 et seq.), audits of universities shall be conducted annually. Because the Schedule presents
only a selected portion of the activities of the College, it is not intended to and does not present either the financial position,
change in net position, or change in cash flows of the College.The accounting principles followed by the College and used in preparing the accompanying Schedule are as follows:
Awards Other Than Student Financial Assistance
Deductions (expenditures) for direct costs are recognized as incurred using the accrual method of accounting and
the cost accounting principles contained in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Under those cost
principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Moreover,
expenditures include a portion of costs associated with general college activities (indirect costs) which are
allocated to federal awards under negotiated indirect cost rates or rates specific to a funding opportunity. Student Financial Assistance Expenditures are recognized and reported in the Schedule for non-loan awards made to students under various
programs, e.g., Pell, SEOG and Federal Workstudy. Student loan programs are funded by the federal government
mainly under the Direct Loan program.
The accompanying Schedule has been prepared in a format that presents summary financial information of the federal funds
awarded to the College directly from federal agencies as well as amounts received as sub grantee of other organizations.
The College did not elect to use the 10% de minimis cost rate as covered in §200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs.

The College was a participant in a joint application(s) with other Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to receive GEER I funding
from the Education Stabilization Fund through the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). The College subsequently
received GEER II funding from the Commission for Higher Education of the State of Indiana (CHE). As a result, some of the
activity for the GEER award that is presented as receipts and disbursements on the financial statement is not presented as
federal awards expended on the SEFA for the College. This activity is reported on the SEFAs of each participating LEA as
appropriate.
