Title: Note A - Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the SEFA are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance and/or OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or as limited as to reimbursement. The basic financial statements of Metro Government are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting for the governmental fund financial statements and the accrual basis of accounting for the government-wide, proprietary fund, and fiduciary fund financial statements. Thus, amounts reported on the Schedule may not directly agree to the amounts reported in the basic financial statements. The accompanying SEFA reflects certain adjustments resulting from transfers of funds between grants, adjustments, or credits made in the normal course of business. As a result, certain grants reflect negative expenditures. Federal assistance listing numbers or other identifying numbers listed on the SEFA were obtained from the respective grant/contract agreement.

Metro Government has an U. S. Economic Development Administration (“EDA”) revolving loan fund (“RLF”) under the Economic Adjustment Assistance Program, Federal Assistance Listing Number (“FALN”) 11.307. According to the OMB Compliance Supplement, for purposes of completing the SEFA, each EDA RLF (FALN 11.307) should be shown as a separate line item calculated as follows:
1. Balance of RLF loan outstanding at the end of the recipient’s fiscal year, plus
2. Cash and Investment balances in the RLF at the end of the recipient’s fiscal year, plus
3. Administrative expenses paid out of the RLF income during recipient’s fiscal year, plus
4. The unpaid principal of all loans written off during the recipient’s fiscal year; and then multiply this sum (1+2+3+4) by
5. The Federal share of the RLF. The Federal share is defined as the Federal participation rate (or the Federal grant rate) as specified in the grant award.
The calculation to arrive at the RLF amount shown on the SEFA as of June 30, 2023 is as follows: See the Notes to the SEFA for chart/table.
