Title: BASIS FOR 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The University has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The purpose of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) is to present a summary of those activities of Concordia University, Nebraska and Affiliate (the University) that have been financed by the United States Government (federal awards). Federal awards received directly from federal agencies are included in the Schedule. Additionally, all federal awards passed through from other entities have been included on the Schedule. Although the University is required to match certain grants, as defined in the grants, no such matching is included in the Schedule. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, statement of activities, or cash flows of the University.
