Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis of Presentation The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) has been prepared from the Programs accounting records and is presented according to the accrual basis method of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Because the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents only a selected portion of the activities of the Program, it is not intended to and does not present either the financial position or changes in net assets of the Program.Basis of Accounting Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on 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. Indirect Cost Rate The Program elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.Subsequent Events Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the statement of financial position date but before financial statements are available to be issued. The Program recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at that date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. The Programs financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of financial position, but arose after that date and before the financial statements are available to be issued.The Program has evaluated subsequent events through April XX, 2023, which is the date the financial statements are available for issuance, and concluded that there are no events or transactions that need to be disclosed.Note 2.
