Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: 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 to reimbursement. Expenditures awarded from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), must be presented on the Schedule when; 1) FEMA has approved the Town’s project worksheet (PW) and 2) the Town has incurred the eligible expenditures. The $128,835 reported for Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), AL 97.036, represents expenditures incurred in prior years that were approved by FEMA during fiscal year 2023. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Town has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Town of Concord, Massachusetts (the Town) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in the 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).
