Notes to SEFA
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the "Schedule") is a supplementary schedule to Union County's financial statements and is presented for purposes of additional analysis. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the activities of the County, it is not intended to and does not present either the financial position, results of operations, or changes in fund balances/equity of Union County.
Reporting Entity The reporting entity is fully described in Note 1 to the County's basic financial statements. The Schedule includes all federal programs administered by the County for the year ended June 30, 2025. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Schedule includes the federal award activity of the County under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in the 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 County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County. Federal Financial Assistance Pursuant to the Single Audit Act and the Uniform Guidance, federal financial assistance is defined as assistance provided by a federal agency, either directly or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, property, interest subsidies, insurance or direct appropriations. Accordingly, nonmonetary federal assistance, including federal surplus property, is included in federal financial assistance and, therefore, is reported on the Schedule, if applicable. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals. Solicited contracts between the County and the federal government for which the federal government procures tangible goods or services are not considered to be federal financial assistance. Major Programs The Single Audit Act and the Uniform Guidance establish criteria to be used in defining major programs. Major programs for Union County are those programs selected for testing by the auditor using a risk-assessment model, as well as certain minimum expenditure requirements, as outlined in the Uniform Guidance. Programs with similar requirements may be grouped into a cluster for testing purposes. Basis of Accounting The receipt and expenditure of federal awards are accounted for under the same basis of accounting as the fund in which they are recorded. Federal awards recorded in proprietary funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Federal awards recorded in governmental funds are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Insurance Coverage For fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the County had insurance coverage in effect comparable to other entities of similar size and circumstance. The County has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate.
