Notes to SEFA
Title: Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The District accounts for all awards under federal programs in the General 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.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are reported on the modified 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. The District has not elected to use the
10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
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. All federal grants are subject to review by the
grantor agencies. Any expenditures identified by the grantor agencies as disallowed could require reimbursement to the
grantor agency from the District’s general fund.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: See Note 1, paragraph 2, last sentence.
