Title: NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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. For more information see the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies presented in Note 1 in the Colleges basic financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of the College under programs of the federal government for the year ending June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to, and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the College.The College received federal awards both directly from federal agencies and indirectly through pass-through entities.
Title: NOTE 3 - FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN PROGRAMS Accounting Policies: Expenditures in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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. For more information see the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies presented in Note 1 in the Colleges basic financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The College does not directly administer any of the Federal Direct Loans that the students utilize at the College. Therefore, only the value of the loans made during the year are represented on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
