The accompanying schedules of expenditures of award present the activity of all federal and state awards of the Board of Education of Point Pleasant Borough School District. The Board of Education is defined in Note 1(A) to the Board's general purpose financial statements. All federal and state awards received directly from federal and state agencies, as well as federal and state awards passed through other government agencies are included on the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards.
The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards are presented on the budgetary basis of accounting with the exception of programs recorded in the food service fund, which are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. These bases of accounting are described in Note 1 to the Board's basic financial statements.
Relationship to Basic Financial Statements The basic financial statements present the general fund and special revenue fund on a GAAP basis. Budgetary comparison statements or schedules are presented for the general fund and special revenue fund to demonstrate finance-related legal compliance in which certain revenue is permitted by law or grant agreement to be recognized in the audit year, whereas for GAAP reporting, revenue is not recognized until the subsequent year or when expenditures have been made. The general fund is presented in the accompanying schedules on the modified accrual basis with the exception of the revenue recognition of the one or more deferred June state aid payments in the current budget year, which is mandated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. For GAAP purposes payments are not recognized until the subsequent budget year due to the state deferral and recording of the one or more June state aid payments in the subsequent year. The special revenue fund is presented in the accompanying schedules on the grant accounting budgetary basis which recognizes encumbrances as expenditures and also recognizes the related revenues, whereas the GAAP basis does not. The special revenue fund also recognizes the one or more state aid June payments in the current budget year, consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:22-4.2
The net adjustment to reconcile from the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis is $(10,832) for the general fund and $(112,203) for the special revenue fund. See Exhibit C-3 for a reconciliation of the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis of accounting for the general and special revenue fund.
