Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of the County 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 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting as described in Note 1 of the County’s financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized consistent with the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards with the exception of Assistance Listing 21.027, which follows criteria determined by the Department of Treasury for allowability of costs. Under these principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
St. Charles County has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed in the Uniform Guidance, Section 414.
