Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards (Schedule) includes the federal and state grant activity of SafeHaven of Tarrant County dba The Archway (Organization). The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS). Because the Schedule only presents a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended and does not present the financial position, changes in net asset, or cash flows of the Organization.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles in the Uniform Guidance or the TxGMS, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Organization elected to use the de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
