Final Answer :
Intra-activity transactions occur between two governmental funds so that the net totals reported for governmental activities are not affected. These transactions also occur between two enterprise funds so that the net totals reported for business-type activities are not affected. Intra-activity transactions are not reported in government-wide financial statements because no overall change is created in either the governmental activities or the business-type activities.Interactivity transactions occur between governmental funds and enterprise funds. They impact the total amount of resources reported for both governmental and business-type activities. For this reason, interactivity transactions are reported in government-wide financial statements.
