Title: Note 3. Reconciliation to Basic Financial Statements
Accounting Policies: The District accounts for all awards under federal programs in the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds in accordance with the Texas Education Agency’s Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. These programs are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e. revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e. expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for these funds. 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 liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as unearned revenues until earned. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods. Non-cash assistance, including National School Breakfast and Lunch Program non-cash commodities and in-kind donations, are recorded at their estimated market value at the time of donation.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance.
