The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal awards activity of the Consolidated Fire Agencies (the Agency) under federal programs of the federal government for the year ended June 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 Agency, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Agency. For the purposes of this schedule, federal financial assistance includes both federal financial assistances received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received indirectly by the Agency from a nonfederal agency or other organization. Only that portion of program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds are reported in the accompanying schedule. Program expenditures in excess of the maximum federal reimbursement authorized or the portion of the program expenditures that were funded with state, local or other non-federal funds are excluded from the accompanying schedule.
