Accounting Policies: NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is prepared on the cash basis of accounting which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, disbursements are recognized when cash is disbursed. This basis of accounting is consistent with the method utilized for the basic financial statements of the County.
The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 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
amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements.
NOTE 2. BASIS FOR EXPENDITURES REPORTED
Cash Disbursements - For certain federal programs, the County makes cash disbursements under the federal program specifically identified as federal program costs. For these federal programs, the County reports federal expenditures in the amount of cash disbursed and indirect costs claimed under the federal program. Cash Receipts - For certain federal programs, the County receives payment at specified rates per unit of service rendered or product distributed. For these federal programs, the County reports federal expenditures in the amount of cash received under the federal program.
NOTE 3. INDIRECT COST RATE
For certain federal programs, the County may be allowed to utilize an indirect cost rate as determined by the federal program or a negotiated indirect cost rate.
