Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the SEFA) summarizes the federal expenditures of the Organization under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2023. The amount reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the Organization’s general ledger. Because the SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets and cash flows of the Organization.
For purposes of the SEFA, federal awards include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly with the federal government and other pass-through entities. The Organization has obtained Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) to ensure that all programs have been identified in the SEFA. ALN have been appropriately listed by applicable programs. Federal programs with different ALN that are closely related because they share common compliance requirements are defined as a cluster by the Uniform Guidance.
The amounts reflected in the financial reports submitted to the awarding federal and/or pass-through agencies and the SEFA for the year end may differ. Some of the factors that may account for any differences include the following:
· The Organization’s fiscal year end may differ from the program’s year end.
· Accruals recognized in the SEFA, because of year end procedures, may not be reported in the program financial reports until the next program reporting period.
· Fixed asset purchased and the resultant depreciation charges are recognized as fixed assets in the Organization’s financial statements and as expenditures in the program financial reports.
The Organization is also the sub-recipient of federal funds that have been subjected to testing and are reported as expenditures and listed as federal pass-through funds. Federal awards other than those indicated as pass-through are considered direct.
This SEFA was prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The Organization did not receive any federal noncash assistance for the year ending September 30, 2023
The Organization elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate.
