Title: A. Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies: B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Organization accounts for all awards under federal and state programs on an accrual basis of accounting and, accordingly, reflects all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities. Federal and state grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant. When such funds are advanced to the Organization, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned. Otherwise, federal and state grant funds are received on a reimbursement basis from the respective federal and state program agencies. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods. Expenditures reported on the Schedules are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance and TxGMS, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedules 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. The Organization has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
