Audit 318201

Accounting Policies: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of Columbus Regional Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence, Inc. and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this 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 presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR FEDERAL AWARD EXPENDITURES Expenditures consist of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that can be readily identified with an individual federally sponsored program. Benefit payments made on behalf of an eligible recipient and the materials consumed by the program are examples of direct costs. Unlike direct costs, indirect costs cannot be readily identified with an individually sponsored project. Indirect costs are the costs of services and resources that benefit many projects, as well as non-sponsored projects and activities. Indirect costs primarily consist of expenses incurred for administration, payroll taxes and fringe benefits.MANAGEMENT’S USE OF ESTIMATES The above basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities reported in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Corporation does not utilize the 10% de minimis cost rate because the guidance under Part 200.414 Indirect Costs does not apply.
