Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1Q
To determine
Mention the ways by which additional financial statements help users according to GASB in the preface to GASB 34.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Government-wide statements put together financial activities in one location and provide information on accrual-based economic resources. Government-wide statements shall coordinate information whether it applies to government activities or business-type operations. Government-wide financial statements are required under GASBS 34.
In the preface to this accounting standard, the GASB identifies a number of ways in which these additional financial statements help users:
- Assess the finances of the government in its entirety, including the year's operating results;
- Determine whether the government's overall financial position improved or deteriorated;
- Evaluate whether the government's current-year revenues were sufficient to pay for current-year services;
- Overlook the cost of providing services to its citizenry;
- See how the government finances its programs—through user fees and other program revenues versus general tax revenues; understand the extent to which the government has invested in capital assets, including roads, bridges, and other infrastructure assets; and make better comparisons between governments.
