Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: 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: • Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV). 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. • Public assistance grants (FEMA). Expenditures are recognized in the period when: (1) FEMA has approved the PW and (2) eligible expenditures are incurred. • 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Municipality elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate and it did not charge indirect costs to federal grants during the year ended June 30, 2023. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of the Municipality under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in this schedule 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). 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.
