Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of the Town of Islip, New York (the “Town”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). All federal financial assistance passed through to other government agencies is included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Federal expenditures of the Town of Islip Community Development Agency (“CDA”), a discretely presented component unit, is not included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as the CDA engaged other auditors to perform a compliance audit. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Town, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Town.
(1) Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. However, expenditures relating to U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) Federal Assistance Listing #97.036 are reported when (1) FEMA has approved the project worksheet, and (2) eligible expenditures have been incurred, in accordance with FEMA regulations. (2) Federal grants received by the Town are subject to audit and adjustment. If any expenditure is disallowed by the grantor agencies as a result of such an audit, the grantor agencies could make claims for reimbursement, which would become a liability of the Town.
The Town has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
