Title: NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures consist of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that can be readily identified with an individual federally sponsored project. The salary of a principal researcher of a sponsored research project and the materials consumed by the project are examples of direct costs. Unlike direct costs, indirect costs cannot be readily identified with an individually sponsored project. Indirect costs are the costs of services and resources that benefit many projects as well as non-sponsored projects and activities. Indirect costs primarily consist of expenses incurred for administration, payroll taxes and fringe benefits. The Organization and federal agencies use an indirect cost rate to charge indirect costs to individual sponsored projects. The rate is the result of a number of cost allocation procedures that the Organization uses to allocate its indirect costs to both sponsored and non-sponsored activities. The indirect costs allocated to sponsored projects are divided by the direct costs of sponsored projects to arrive at a rate. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) must approve the rate before the Organization can use it to charge indirect costs to federally sponsored projects. 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 as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. The Organization has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization 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 Howard Brown Health Center (the “Organization”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024.
