Title: Contingent Liabilities
Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on 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, Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
The Council participates in a number of federally assisted programs. These programs are audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, if applicable, in accordance with the required levels of Federal Financial Assistance. Audits of prior years have not resulted in any significant disallowed costs; however, grantor agencies may provide for further examinations. Based on prior experience, management believes that further examinations would not result in any significant disallowed costs.
