Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Accounting Policies: Basis of Accounting
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
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.
Funds Receivable - Federal Grants and Contracts
STEP incurs grant and contract expenditures in accordance with the grant or contract
terms and conditions. STEP records these expenditures and establishes receivables
and revenue due from its various funding sources on the accrual basis.
Refundable Advances - Federal Grants and Contracts
STEP records a restricted grant or contract award as a refundable advance until it is
expended for the purpose of the grant or contract, at which time it becomes
unconditional and is recognized as revenue. Therefore, the amounts presented as
refundable advances represent unexpended grant or contract funds.
Functional Expenses
Expenses are charged to each program based on direct expenditures incurred. All
program expenditures are direct charged and allocated based on agency allocation
methods.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
