  1. Because government programs particularly in the general fund -- dont generate profits, governments see less value in accounting for costs.
  2. Government objectives are not neatly compartmentalized into discrete organizational units. One agency may be serving multiple purposes that overlap with purposes served by other agencies.
  3. Some agencies provide services to other agencies without charge. This results in a subsidy that can understate the costs being incurred by the recipient agency.
