Title: NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of the Municipality under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation (CFR Part 200), Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from the amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Municipality, it is not intended to, and does not present, the financial position and changes in net position of the Municipality.
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Expenditures are recognized when the related liability is incurred, following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures for the following programs are recognized based on other unique requirements:
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE ▪ Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV).
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE Expenditures are reported on a statutory basis as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Such expenditures should equal the net ACC subsidy for the PHA’s fiscal period.
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE ▪ Public Assistance Grants (FEMA).
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE Expenditures are recognized in the period when: (1) FEMA has approved the Project Worksheet (PW), and (2) eligible expenditures are incurred.
Title: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE ▪ Loans or Loans Guarantee Programs. Expenditures equal the value of new loans made or received during the audit period plus the beginning of the audit period balance of outstanding loans from previous years for which the federal government imposes continuing compliance requirements. For loans with no imposed continuing compliance requirements, expenditures are recognized when the related costs financed with loan proceeds are incurred.
Title: NOTE C – ASSISTANCE LISTING NUMBER AND PASS-THROUGH ENTITY IDENTIFYING NUMBER Accounting Policies: MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: NO MINIMAL RATE The Assistance Listing Number (ALN), formerly known as the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number, is a five-digit number assigned in the awarding document for all federal assistance award mechanisms, including federal grants and cooperative agreements. Assistance listings are detailed public descriptions of federal programs that provide grants, loans, scholarships, insurance, and other types of assistance awards. The Sam.gov assistance listing is the publicly available online database showing all available Federally funded programs. State or local government redistributions of federal awards to the Municipality, known as “pass–through awards”, should be treated by the Municipality as though they were received directly from the federal government. The Uniform Guidance requires the schedule to include the name of the pass–through entity and the identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity for the federal awards received as a sub recipient. Numbers identified as N/A are not applicable and numbers identified as N/AV are not available.
