Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of The Wright Brothers Institute, Inc. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Institute, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Institute. Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNFICATN ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (1)Expenditures reported on the Schedule are presented on the 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. Amounts passed through to subrecipients are reported on the cash basis in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. (2)In accordance with certain grant awards approved by funding sources, property and equipment expenditures are charged to expense in the period during which the assets are purchased instead of being recognized as an asset and depreciated over its useful life for grant reporting purposes. As a result, the expenses reflected on the Schedule include the cost of property and equipment purchased during the year rather than a provision for depreciation. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from the amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. (3)The Institute has elected to use the 10 percent de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. (4) Pass-through identifying numbers were not assigned.
