Notes to SEFA
Title: Pre-Award Costs
Accounting Policies: The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the governmental funds. Accordingly, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards was prepared under this basis of accounting, which requires that revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for interest on long-term debt, which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned.The following table reconciles total expenditures per the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Exhibit K-1) to the federal program revenues per Exhibit C-2: See Notes to the SEFA for footnote.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate.
