Expenditures of Federal awards and state financial assistance are reported on the statements of functional expenses as program services or general and administrative expenses. In certain programs, the expenditures reported in the basic financial statements may differ from the expenditures reported in the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards and state financial assistance due to program expenditures exceeding grant or contract budget limitations, matching or in-kind contributions or capitalization policies required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
