Notes to SEFA

The schedule of expenditures of federal awards presents the activities of federal award programs expended by Becker County and the Becker County Economic Development Authority (EDA), a component unit of the County. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the level of federal funding for the Becker County EDA did not require a separate single audit to be performed for the component unit. The schedule does not include the federal expenditures of the Sunnyside Care Center enterprise fund because it was audited by other auditors. The County’s reporting entity is defined in Notes 1 and 7 to the financial statements.
Becker County has elected to not use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Becker County did not pass federal funds to subrecipients.
