Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Allowability is determined according to the principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Under those cost principles, certain expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
De Minimis Rate Used: Y
Rate Explanation: The organization allocates its expenses among its various programs in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Expenses that can be identified with specific programs are allocated directly according to their natural expenditure classification. Joint costs are allocated based on various identifiable bases. Indirect expenses are recorded and then allocated based on a rate relative to salaries or other direct costs, in accordance with specifications outlined in each program’s grant document. For the year ended September 30, 2022, $78,317 in indirect costs were charged to the federal award programs. Rural Coalition has elected to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under Uniform Guidance.
