Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) includes the federal award activity of American Public Health Association (the Association). The information in the SEFA 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 Association, it is not intended to, and does not present, the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Association.
Expenditures reported on the SEFA 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 as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented in the SEFA may differ from amounts presented in the basic financial statements, which have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Association has elected not to use the de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed by the Uniform Guidance. This rate was either 10% or 15% depending on the period of the grant.
As provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Association allocated indirect costs using a rate equal to its approved rate of 26.1% during the year ended June 30, 2025.
