How does a working capital business entity differ from a reimbursable activity?
Working capital fund business entities and reimbursable activities are similar but there are some fundamental differences. While there can be many permutations of the differences, these are the more general: A reimbursable activity operates as a primary activity within an appropriated fund entity. That is, the primary function of the entity within which the reimbursable activity resides is to perform a function other than the reimbursable activity. The primary (and only) function of a working capital fund business entity is to provide a good/service in exchange for a set price/rate. A working capital fund business entity usually does not receive any other funding other than the fee it charges for the good/service it provides. A reimbursable activity charges the cost it incurred to perform the service. The cost, as a rule, is not known until the service is completed. This does not provide the reimbursable activity with an incentive to control costs nor does it provide the customer
