Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Northampton Township 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 Northampton Township, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, change in net assets, or cash flows of Northampton Township.
(1) Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. (2) Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. (3) Northampton Township uses funder approved indirect cost rates that are stipulated in grant agreements. Where there is no funder approved indirect cost rate, Northampton Township has elected not to include indirect costs up to the 15% de minimis rate allowed under Uniform Guidance.
