Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (“SEFA”) presents the activity of all federal awards programs of Golden West Humanitarian Foundation (the “Organization”) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information in the SEFA is presented in accordance with the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America, and the audit 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 SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the Organization. Federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through state and local agencies are included in the SEFA.
The SEFA is presented using the accrual basis of accounting which is described in the notes to the Organization’s financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, where certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
Amounts reported in the SEFA agree with the amounts reported in the related federal financial reports for all federal programs.
The SEFA includes both direct and indirect costs expensed for all grant programs. The Organization has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The indirect costs expensed under federal awards received directly from federal agencies are based on a predetermined rate for indirect costs which are approved by the United States Department of the Interior.
