Reporting Entity
A reporting entity is the entity that sends monthly reports to
MOFED.
Although the accounting unit prepares monthly reports, every
accounting unit may not send monthly reports directly to
MOFED.
Each of the following may apply to a reporting entity:
A reporting entity may be an accounting unit, and an
accounting unit may consist of only one BI. Therefore, a
single BI may be a reporting entity.
A reporting entity may be a PB that receives the monthly
reports from several accounting units.
Whoever sends the reports to MOFED is the reporting entity.
Therefore, the reporting entity is not, necessarily, an
accounting unit.
