The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) includes the federal grant activity of the County for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in the 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 SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in fund balances or cash flows of the County.
Expenditures of federal awards are recognized under the modified 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. The County has elected not to use the de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Local cost sharing 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 SEFA.
Grantor agencies reserve the right to conduct additional audits on the County’s grant programs for economy, efficiency and program results, which may result in disallowed costs to the County. However, management does not believe such audits would result in any disallowed costs that would be material to the County’s financial position at December 31, 2025.
