Notes to SEFA
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) includes the federal grant activity of Vitalant and Affiliates (the Company) and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in the SEFA 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). The SEFA does not include payments received under the traditional Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs, as these programs are outside the scope of the Uniform Guidance. There were no donated goods and personal protective equipment received from federal sources that required recognition or disclosure in the notes to the SEFA.
The Company does not use the 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate provided for in the Uniform Guidance.
The program titles and assistance listing numbers were obtained from the respective grant agreements. Per the Federal Audit Clearinghouse instructions, the Company should report the awarding federal agency’s two-digit prefix, followed by the three-digit assistance listing extension number. If the three-digit assistance listing extension number is unknown, then the awarding federal agency’s two-digit prefix is followed by “RD” (Research and Development), as well as including the federal contract number as an additional identifier.
