The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of American Society for Engineering Education (the Society) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2021. 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).
