Accounting Policies: NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award
activity of Meigs County, Ohio (the County) under programs of the federal government for the year ended
December 31, 2023. 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 County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position,
changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are
recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures
may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement.
NOTE C – INDIRECT COST RATE
The county has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform
Guidance.
NOTE D – SUBRECIPIENTS
The County passes certain federal awards received from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to
other governments or not-for-profit agencies (subrecipients). As Note B describes, the County reports
expenditures of federal awards to subrecipients when paid in cash.
As a pass-through entity, the County has certain compliance responsibilities, such as monitoring its
subrecipients to help assure they use these subawards as authorized by laws, regulations, and the provisions of
contracts or grant agreements, and that subrecipients achieve the award’s performance goals.
NOTE E – CHILD NUTRITION CLUSTER
The County commingles cash receipts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture with similar State grants.
When reporting expenditures on this Schedule, the County assumes it expends federal monies first.
NOTE F – MATCHING REQUIREMENTS
Certain federal programs require that the County contribute non-federal funds (matching funds) to support the
Federally funded programs. The County has met its matching requirements. The Schedule does not include the
expenditure of non-Federal matching funds.
