Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) are reported 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. Negative amounts shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as
expenditures in prior years.

allocation method is used in allocating costs to the federal programs.
