Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported in the consolidated schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Association has not elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate. The accompanying consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the consolidated schedule) includes the federal award activity of Young Womens Christian Association of St. Paul and Affiliates (the Association), under programs of the Federal Government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the consolidated schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Association, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Association.
