Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of City of Dalton for the year ended December 31, 2025. The reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the City’s basic financial statements. 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, it is not intended to and does not present the net position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the City of Dalton.
Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles of the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available.
The City has elected not to use the 15% de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under Uniform Guidance.
