Rate Explanation: The county did not use the de minimis cost rate
The federal/state grant funds were accounted for in the Governmental Funds. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With the Governmental Fund type measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e. revenues and other financing sources) and decreased (i.e. expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the Governmental Fund types. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available and expenditures in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain compensated absences, claims and judgements, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated and expendable available financial resources.
