Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Expenditures are recognized when the related liability is incurred, following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures for the following programs are recognized based on other unique requirements:
(1) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV). Expenditures are reported on a statutory basis as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Such expenditures should equal the net ACC subsidy for the PHA’s fiscal period.
(2) Public assistance grants (FEMA). Expenditures are recognized in the period when: (1) FEMA has approved the PW, and (2) eligible expenditures are incurred.
(3) Loans or loans guarantee programs. Expenditures equal the value of new loans made or received during the audit period plus the beginning of the audit period balance of outstanding loans from previous years for which the federal government imposes continuing compliance requirements. For loans with no imposed continuing compliance requirements, expenditures are recognized when the related costs financed with loan proceeds are incurred.
The ALN numbers included in this schedule were determined based on the program name, review of grant contract information and the Office of Management and Budget's Assistance Listing Number.
State or local government redistributions of federal awards to the Municipality, known as “pass-through awards”, should be treated by the Municipality as though they were received directly from the federal government. The Uniform Guidance requires the schedule to include the name of the pass-through entity and the identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity for the federal awards received as a sub recipient. Numbers identified as N/A are not applicable and numbers identified as N/AV are not available.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The Municipality elected not to use the ten (10) percent of de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform
Guidance.
