Title: NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. Under the accrual basis, revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred, without regard to the time of cash receipt or payment.

Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
