Notes to SEFA
The District did not pass through any expenditures of federal awards to subrecipients.
The basic financial statements present the General Fund and Special Revenue Fund on a GAAP basis. Budgetary comparison statements or schedules (RSI) 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 last state aid payment in the current budget year, which is mandated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. For GAAP purposes that payment is not recognized until the subsequent budget year due to the state deferral and recording of the last state aid payment 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 last State aid payment in the current budget year, consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. The net adjustment to reconcile from the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis is ($208,612) for the General Fund, ($246,666) for the Special Revenue Fund. See Note 1 (the Notes to Required Supplementary Information) for a reconciliation of the budgetary basis to the modified accrual basis of accounting for the General and Special Revenue Funds. Awards and financial assistance revenues are reported in the District’s basic financial statements on a GAAP basis as follows:
Amounts reported in the accompanying schedules agree with the amounts reported in the related federal and state financial reports.
Revenues and expenditures reported under the Food Distribution Program represent current year value received and current year distributions, respectively. The amount of $4,823,825 reported as TPAF Pension Contributions, $2,152 reported as TPAF Long-Term Disability Insurance, and $1,312,868 reported as TPAF Post-Retirement Medical Contributions represent the amounts paid by the State on behalf of the District for the year ended June 30, 2024. TPAF Social Security Contributions in the amount of $1,072,689 represent the amount reimbursed by the State for the employer’s share of Social Security Contributions for TPAF members for the year ended June 30, 2024.
On-behalf expenditures for the District by the State are not subject to a State single audit and, therefore, are excluded from major program determination. The Schedule of State Financial Assistance provides a reconciliation of State financial assistance reported in the District’s basic financial statements and the amount subject to the State single audit and major program determination.
