Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards presents the activity
of all federal award programs administered by Western New York Maritime Charter
School (the “School”), an entity as defined in Note 1 to the School’s financial
statements. Federal awards received directly from federal agencies, as well as
federal awards passed through from other governmental agencies, are included on
the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
Basis of Accounting
The amounts reported as federal expenditures generally were obtained from the
appropriate federal financial reports for the applicable programs and periods. The
amounts reported in these federal financial reports are prepared from records
maintained for each program, which are periodically reconciled with the School’s
financial reporting system. The federal expenditures are recorded on the accrual
basis.

The School typically does not allocate indirect costs to federal programs and as
such, the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate permitted by the Uniform Guidance is
not applicable.
Non-Monetary Federal Program
The School is the recipient of a federal award that does not result in cash receipts
or disbursements (termed a “non-monetary program”). During the year ended June
30, 2024, the School used $38,766 worth of commodities under the National School
Lunch Program (Assistance Listing Number 10.553).
