Notes to SEFA
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) includes the federal grant activity of Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Subsidiaries and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in the SEFA is presented in accordance with the 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in the SEFA may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the consolidated financial statements of Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Subsidiaries. For purposes of the SEFA, federal awards include any assistance provided by a federal agency, directly, or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loan and loan guarantees, or other non-cash assistance. The SEFA does not include payments received under the traditional Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs, as these programs are outside the scope of the Uniform Guidance. There were no donated goods and personal protective equipment received from federal sources that required recognition or disclosure in the notes to the SEFA.
Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Subsidiaries does not use the 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate provided for in the Uniform Guidance.
In fiscal year 2025, Ochsner Clinic Foundation and Subsidiaries received approval from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for 4 projects related to the reimbursement of eligible expenditures of $2,723,538 incurred in previous fiscal years. These previous years’ expenditures are included in the SEFA in the current year in accordance with guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
