Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance (the schedule) includes the federal and state award activity of Pepin County under programs of the federal and state 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 Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), and the State Single Audit Guidelines. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Pepin County, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Pepin County. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the 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 to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
Pepin County has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Benefits distributed by the State directly to residents of Pepin County were: Food Share Benefits $922,334 WHEAP Benefits $416,078
Amounts shown as paid via Third-Party Administrator (TPA) are payments made by a TPA for County authorized services. The TPA makes payments directly to the service providers and receives reimbursement for these services directly from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS). The activity between the TPA and service providers is not recorded in the County's financial accounting system; however, DHS guidance dictates that these transactions are to be included in the schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance.
