The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Scio Central School District and presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the 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. Federal grants received by the District are subject to audit and adjustment. If any expenditure is disallowed by the grantor agencies as a result of such audit, the grantor agencies could make claims to reimbursement, which would become a liability of the District.
Various reimbursement procedures are used for Federal Awards received by the District. Consequently, timing differences between expenditures and program reimbursements can exist at the beginning and end of the year. Accrued balance at year end represents an excess of expenditures over cash reimbursements received to date. Deferred balances at year end represent an excess of cash reimbursements received over reimbursable expenditures to date. Generally, accrued, or deferred balances are caused by differences in the timing of cash reimbursements and expenditures and will be reversed in the remaining grant period.
