BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of the Junior College District of East Central, Missouri under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Junior College District of East Central, Missouri, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Junior College District of East Central, Missouri. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1) Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the College's basic financial statements. 2) Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. 3) The College elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate. The College participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, which provides federal loans directly to the students rather than through private lending institutions. The College is responsible only for the origination of the loan (e.g., determining student eligibility and disbursing loan proceeds to the borrower). The Direct Loan Servicer is then responsible for the overall servicing and collection of the loan. Accordingly, these loans are not included in the College's financial statements. The amount reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the loan program represents the total value of the loans awarded and paid to the college's students during the year ended June 30, 2023.
