Explanation:

a) The Funds Financial Statements (FFS) report more detailed information about the major funds individually and about non-major funds in the aggregate for governmental and proprietary fund types.

b) A government-wide financial statement is a detailed summary of all the major government funds, spending in each type of governmental activities, and the surplus or deficit.

The government-wide statements bring the financial activities together in one place, by reporting economic resources-based information on the accrual basis, and organizing the information by whether it relates to governmental activities or business-type activities.
