Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedules of financial assistance are presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the "Requirements of Audit" as promulgated by the State of New Jersey, Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local Government Services. Such principles and practices are designed primarily for determining compliance with legal provisions and budgetary restrictions and as a means of reporting on the stewardship of public officials with respect to public funds. Under this method of accounting, the County accounts for its financial transactions through separate funds, which differ from the funds required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The County has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
