Title: Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: 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. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. South Central Iowa Community Action Program, Inc. has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The Organization charges certain indirect program costs to an indirect cost fund and distributes these costs to programs based on a provisional indirect cost rate of 17.1% through October 31, 2024, approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The indirect cost rate is applied to each program’s salaries and wages to determine the amount of indirect cost charged to such programs from the indirect cost fund. Under a provisional rate, as opposed to a predetermined or final rate, the fund is annually reviewed and an actual rate is subsequently determined based upon the fiscal year expenditures, at which time the indirect costs charged to programs is adjusted.
