The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards presents the activity of all federal awards programs of the Department for the year ended April 30, 2026. All federal awards received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal awards passed through from other government agencies, are included on the schedule.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of the Department and is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The information presented in this schedule is 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 this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.
Local cost sharing, as defined by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, is required by certain federal grants. The amount of cost sharing varies with each program. Only the federal share of expenditures is presented in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
Grantor agencies reserve the right to conduct additional audits of the Department’s grant programs for economy and efficiency and program results which may result in disallowed costs to the Department. However, management does not believe such audits would result in any disallowed costs that would be material to the Department’s financial position at April 30, 2026.
The Department has elected not to use the 15% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
