Notes to SEFA
The purpose of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) is to present a summary of those activities of J.O. Combs Unified School District No. 44 (the District) that have been financed by the U.S. government (federal awards). Federal awards received directly from federal agencies are included in the Schedule. Additionally, all federal awards passed through from other entities have been included in the Schedule. The District is required to match certain grant agreements, as defined in the grants, and these matching amounts are not included in the Schedule. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with requirements of Title 2 CFR 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 District, it is not intended to and does not present the net position or changes in net position of J.O. Combs Unified School District No. 44.
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, wherein 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. Commodities are valued at fair values as provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
