The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 US Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). All federal and state awards received directly and indirectly from federal and state agencies are included in this Schedule. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the System, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the System.
Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
The System has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

The federal loan program listed subsequently are administered directly by the System and balances and transactions related to these programs are included in the System’s basic consolidated financial statements. Loans outstanding at the beginning of the year and loans during the year are included in the federal expenditures presented in the Schedule.

The grant programs are subject to financial and compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. Such audits could lead to requests for reimbursement to the grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under terms of the grants. Management believes disallowances, if any, will not be material.
The categorization of expenditures by program included in the schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards is based upon the grant documents. Changes in the categorization of expenditures occur based upon revisions to the Assistance Listing, which is issued in June and December of each year. The schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects Assistance Listing changes through May 2024.
