Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of the Town of Ramapo, New York (Town), under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in this Schedule 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). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Town, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or the respective changes in financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the amounts presented are derived from the Town’s general ledger.
Where the Town receives funds from a government entity other than the federal government (pass-through), the funds are accumulated based upon the Assistance Listings number advised by the pass-through grantor. Identifying numbers, other than the Assistance Listings numbers, which may be assigned by pass-through grantors are not maintained in the Town’s financial management system. The Town has identified certain pass-through identifying numbers and included them in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as available.
Indirect costs are included in the reported expenditures to the extent they are included in the financial reports used as the source for the expenditures presented. The Town did not elect to use the 15 percent de-minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Matching costs, i.e. the Town’s share of certain program costs, are not included in the reported expenditures.
