Notes to SEFA
Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited to reimbursement.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of City of Benton, Arkansas, and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in the 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. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the City.
The City has elected not to use the 10 percent de-minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The amounts shown as current-year expenses represent only the federal grant portion of the program costs. Entire program costs including the City’s portion may be more than shown.
