Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on 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. Negative amounts (if any) shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Tecumseh Public Schools has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The District qualifies for low-risk auditee status. Management has utilized the NexSys, Cash Management System and the Grant Auditor Report in preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.

Condition: Tecumseh Public Schools currently has more than the allowable fund balance in the non-profit food service fund.
