Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Governmental funds and proprietary funds account for the City's federal grant activity. Amounts reported in the Schedule are recognized on the modified accrual basis when they become a demand on current available federal resources and eligibility requirements are met, or on the accrual basis at the time liabilities are incurred and all eligibility requirements are met, depending on the basis of accounting used by the respective fund. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance or other regulatory requirements, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts, if any, shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
