Title: NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes grants, contracts and similar agreements entered into directly between Hood College of Frederick, Maryland and Affiliates (the “College”) and agencies and departments of the federal government. It also includes all federal subawards to the College by nonfederal organizations pursuant to federal, state and local grants, contracts, and similar agreements. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for the Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in, the preparation of the basic financial statements. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the College.
Also, the grants reflect transactions for the June 30, 2023 fiscal year irrespective of the year of grant award, and accordingly, the Schedule does not include a full year’s activity for grants awarded or terminated on dates not coinciding with the aforementioned fiscal year.
