Accounting Policies: I. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards ("the Schedule") includes the federal grant activity of Atlanta Independent School District. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance"). Therefore, some amounts may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. II SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. For all Federal programs, the District uses the fund types specified in Texas Education Agency's Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. Special revenue funds are used to account for resources restricted to, or designated for, specific purposes by a grantor. Federal and state financial assistance generally is accounted for in a Special Revenue Fund. 2. Expenditures reported on the Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. These 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, if any, represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. 3. The District has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. 4. The SHARS program expenditures are not specifically attributable to the federal expenditures source and are shown on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for balancing purposes only. 5. Nonmonetary assistance is reported in the schedule at fair market value of commodities received and disbursed. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
