Audit 404689

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Blue Water Area Transportation Commission (the “Commission”) for the year ended September 30, 2025. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the same basis of accounting, the accrual basis, as the financial statements, although the basis for determining when federal awards are expended 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 (Uniform Guidance), wherein certain types of expenses are not allowed or are limited as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. The Commission passes a certain amount of these federal awards to other local governments and agencies (subrecipients) who provide the actual program services. These federal awards passed through to subrecipients are recognized as expenses by the Commission in the period the program services are provided. For purposes of charging indirect costs to federal awards, the Commission has elected not to use the de minimis cost rate of 10% for pre-2025 and 15% for 2025 grant awards as permitted by §200.414 of the Uniform Guidance. Revenue has been accrued at September 30, 2025 to match allowable expenditures incurred during the year for each program. Grant funds received in advance that are in excess of incurred costs have been reflected as unearned revenue on the statement of financial position. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Commission, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Commission.
