The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2024. 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). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of AUI, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of AUI.
The reimbursement of indirect costs reflected in the accompanying financial statements as federal awards revenue is subject to final approval by federal grantors and could be adjusted upon the results of these reviews. Management believes that the results of any such adjustment will not be material to AUI’s financial position or change in net assets.
