Notes to SEFA

Title: 1 Accounting Policies: ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: THE AUDITEE DID NOT USE THE DE MINIMIS RATE BUT ACTUAL COSTS The schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal award activity of the Corporation. The information in this schedule is presented 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 Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Corporation.
Title: 2 Accounting Policies: ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: THE AUDITEE DID NOT USE THE DE MINIMIS RATE BUT ACTUAL COSTS Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Corporation has elected not to use the 10 percent de-minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Title: 3 Accounting Policies: ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: THE AUDITEE DID NOT USE THE DE MINIMIS RATE BUT ACTUAL COSTS The Corporation received loans directly or indirectly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which are included above. If there were no current year advances on the loan, the loan balance above reflects the beginning of the year balance. If there were advances on the loan, the loan balance above reflects the highest balance during the year.
Title: 4 Accounting Policies: ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: THE AUDITEE DID NOT USE THE DE MINIMIS RATE BUT ACTUAL COSTS Certain grants, while fully expended, contain continuing compliance requirements and are thus included in the Schedule.
