Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: For all Federal programs, the Center uses the fund types specified in Texas Education Agency's Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. The Special Revenue Fund is 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 the Special Revenue Fund. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types, which include all Federal grant funds, are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities, deferred inflows of resources and fund balance are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases and decreases in fund balance. 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. Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant. When such funds are received, they are recorded as revenues since all Federal grants are on an expenditure reimbursement basis. Some grants are assigned CFDA No. 84.999 because they are funded from the Texas Education Agency's consolidated administrative funds.
