Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Accounting Accounting Policies: Expenditures of federal awards are recognized in the accounting period when the liabilities are incurred and the goods or services are received. The value of non-cash assistance is valued at fair market value at the time of receipt or the assessed value provided by the federal agency. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate during the year ended November 30, 2022. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant expenditures of Schuyler County, Illinois, (the "County") and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the compliance requirements of the Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the County's operations, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.
