Notes to SEFA
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types are accounted for using a current financial resources focus. All federal and state grant funds were accounted for in the Special Revenue Funds, a component of the Governmental Fund type. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds’ present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current position. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the Governmental Fund types. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Federal and state grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned.
Subrecipients grants are passed through to the Middle Rio Grande Development Council (fiscal agent).
The Board did not elect to use the 15% de minimis indirect cost rate provided by the Uniform Guidance.
