Notes to SEFA
Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported using 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. Indirect costs may be included in the reported expenditures, to the extent that they are included in the federal financial reports used as the source of the data presented. Certain of the District's federal award programs have been charged with indirect costs, based upon a rate established by New York State. The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance applied to overall expenditures. Matching costs (the District's share of certain program costs) are not included in the reported expenditures. The basis of accounting varies by federal program consistent with underlying regulations pertaining to each program. The amounts reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the federal financial reports for the applicable program and periods. The amounts reported in these reports are prepared from records maintained for each program, which are reconciled with the District's financial reporting system.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
