Reporting on the Federal Financial Report“SF-425” Presented by HOMELESS GRANT AND PER DIEM PROGRAM and The Financial Service Center
Background on the Federal Financial Report “SF- 425” Purpose: • The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established a standardized reporting format where recipients who are awarded Federal dollars are required to submit a Federal financial report (FFR). • Prior to October 1, 2009, recipients were required to report Federal award dollars on FFR standard form, SF-269 and the Federal cash transaction report, SF-272 and SF-272a. • The SF-425now replaces the previous standard forms identified above. Additional recipients are now required to report any Federal dollars awarded on or after October1, 2009 on a single FFR SF-425. • GPD will use the SF- 425 to monitor the provider’s financial status and determine whether the provider has accurately and timely reported on total cost of veteran care provided during the reporting period. Timeliness Requirements: • As directed by the VA Homeless Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD), recipients will be required to submit on an annual basis the SF-425. • Annual reports shall be submitted by recipients no later than 90 days after the end of the grant period. • GPD may on a case by case request recipients to submit more frequently then the prescribed requirement. • Extensions may be granted to recipients. However, recipients shall be required to submit a written notification prior to 90 days.

Specifically, establishing transparencies from the General Ledger will expedite the task of regenerating reports when financial reviews or questions arise.
