Notes to SEFA
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance Provided to Subrecipients (“the Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. 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). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District.
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, in which certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as 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. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Cash received is recorded on the cash basis; expenditures are recorded on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all grant requirements have been met. The Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District has formatted the Schedule to conform to the recommendations of the Michigan Department of Education. The Schedule has been arranged to provide information on both actual cash received and the revenue recognized. Accordingly, the effects of accruals of accounts receivable, unearned revenue and accounts payable items at both the beginning and end of the fiscal year have been reported.
The Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate to recover indirect costs as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
