Audit 392158

The financial reporting entity, as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Codification, consists of the primary government, which is the City of Menlo Park, California (the “City”), organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

Basis of Accounting - Funds received under the various grant programs have been recorded within the special revenue funds of the City. The City utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting for the special revenue funds. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the “Uniform Guidance”). Therefore, some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in, the preparation of City’s basic financial statements. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards - The accompanying Schedule presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City. Federal financial assistance received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal financial assistance Passed through the California Department of Education, California Office of Emergency Services, and State of California Office of Traffic and Safety, are included in the Schedule. The Schedule was prepared from only the accounts of various grant programs and, therefore, does not present the financial position or results of operations of the City. Indirect Cost Rate - The City has not elected to use the de minimis indirect rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance (10 percent of modified total direct costs for awards issued prior to October 1, 2024 and 15 percent for awards issued or amended on or after October 1, 2024). Subrecipients - During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, there were no amounts provided to subrecipients.
