Notes to SEFA
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of federal award programs administered by the Town, which is described in Note 1 to the Town’s accompanying financial statements, using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Federal awards that are included in the schedule may be received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal awards that are passed through from other government agencies. The information 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented using the 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.
Matching costs (the Town’s share of certain program costs), if required, are not included in the reported expenditures. The basis of accounting varies by federal program consistent with the underlying regulations pertaining to each program. The amounts reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the federal financial reports for applicable programs and periods. The amounts reported in these reports are prepared from records maintained for each program, which are reconciled with the Town’s financial reporting system. The Congressional mandated projects ALN 66.202 met the matching requirements.
No amounts were provided to subrecipients
The Town allocates indirect costs as limited by the grant requirements. The Town’s policy is not to charge federal award programs with indirect costs.
