Title: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Policies: The accompanying “Schedules of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards” includes the
federal and state grant activity of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
(the “Commission”) and is presented in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the Wisconsin State Single Audit
Guidelines. Therefore, some amounts presented in these schedules may differ from amounts
presented in, or used in the preparation of the financial statements. Because this Schedule
presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Commission, it is not intended to and
does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Commission.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The Commission has elected to not use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed
under the Uniform Guidance and the Wisconsin State Single Audit Guidelines.
Expenditures reported on the Schedules are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such
expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance
and the Wisconsin State Single Audit Guidelines, wherein certain types of expenditures are not
allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
