Notes to SEFA
Basis of presentation – The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U. S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Federal expenses include allowable expenses funded by federal grants. Allowable costs are subject to the cost principles of the Uniform Guidance and include both costs that are capitalized and costs that are recognized as expenses in the Conservancy’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Conservancy has not elected to use the 10% de minimus cost rate for indirect costs and does not have subrecipients. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Conservancy, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Conservancy.
The source of funding for certain contracts passed through to the Conservancy from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation cannot be separated to specifically identify the individual funding sources because of commingled assistance from federal agencies and a publicly traded company. The Conservancy has reported total expenditures from these commingled funds on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
