Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Miami Valley Fire/EMS Alliance under programs of the federal government for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and is prepared in accordance with the cash basis of accounting. The information on this Schedule is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 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 Miami Valley Fire/EMS Alliance, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in fund balances of the Miami Valley Fire/EMS Alliance. Such expenditures are recognized following cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be limited as to reimbursement.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: CFR Section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance allows a non-federal entity that has never received a negotiated indirect cost rate to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs to indirect costs. The Miami Valley Fire/EMS Alliance has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
