Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate. The accompanying consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards (schedule) includes the federal award activity of Hope Haven, Inc. and Hope Haven Support Foundation (collectively, the Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information 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 schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate. The consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of Hope Haven, Inc. and Hope Haven Support Foundation, when applicable. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
