Title: A. Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Organization accounts for all awards under federal and
state programs on an accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflects all significant receivables, payables, and other
liabilities.
Federal and state grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the
grant. When such funds are advanced to the Organization, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned. Otherwise,
federal and state grant funds are received on a reimbursement basis from the respective federal and state program
agencies. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods.
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 TxGMS, wherein certain types of expenditures are not
allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedules represent adjustments or credits
made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass-through entity identifying
numbers are presented where available. The Organization has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost
rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: See note above, last paragraph, last sentence.
The accompanying Schedules of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards (the “Schedules”) include the federal and state
grant activity of the Fort Bend County Child Advocates, Inc. (the “Organization”) under programs of the federal and state
government for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information in these schedules are presented in accordance with
the requirements of the Title 2 U.S CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State of Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS).
Because the Schedules present only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, they are not intended to and
do not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the Organization.
