The District is defined in Note 1 to the Districts basic financial statements. All federal awards and state financial assistance received directly from federal and state agencies, as well as federal awards and state financial assistance passed through othergovernment agencies are included on the schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance. The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance include the federal award and state financial assistance activity under programs of the federal and state government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The District is defined in Note 1 to the Districts basic financial statements. All federal awards and state financial assistance received directly from federal and state agencies, as well as federal awards and state financial assistance passed through other government agencies, are included on the schedules of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance. The information in these schedules are presented in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200-Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and New Jersey OMB Circular 15-08, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedules may differ fromamounts presented, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements because the schedules present only selected portions of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the District. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. Amounts reported in the accompanying schedules agree with amounts reported in the Districts basic financial statements. The basic financial statements present the general fund and special revenue fund on a GAAP basis. Budgetary comparison statements or schedules (RSI) are presented for the general fund and the special revenue fund to demonstrate finance-related legal compliance in which certain revenue is permitted by law or grant agreement to be recognized in the fiscal year, whereas for GAAP reporting, revenue is not recognized until the subsequent year or when expenditures have been made. The general fund is presented in the accompanying schedules on the modified accrual basis of accounting with the exception of the revenue recognition of the last two state aid payments in the current year, which is mandated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. For GAAP purposes, those payments are not recognized until the subsequent year due to the state deferral and recording of the last state aid payments in the subsequent year. The special revenue fund is presented in the accompanying schedules on the grant accounting budgetary basis, which recognizes encumbrances as expenditures and also recognizes the related revenues, whereas the GAAP basis does not. The special revenue fund also recognizes the state aid payments in the current budget year, consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. As a result, the federal accounts receivable balance in the special revenue fund on the budgetary basis differs from the GAAP basis as follows: Accounts Budgetary Less Less Deferred StateReceivable Basis Encumbrances Aid Payments GAAP BasisFederal $39,385,410 $22,239,315 $17,146,095State $10,086,262 $9,897,468 $188,794 The net adjustment to reconcile from the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis is $8,500,687 for the general fund and $18,167,564 for the special revenue fund. See note to required supplementary information for a reconciliation of the budgetary basis to modified accrual basis of accounting for the general and special revenue funds (C-3).
