The synthesis mission

Background

The users have carried out several successive iterations of the cycle "decentralisation, Work on local posts, repatriation, transversal work". They have succeeded in eliminating the main inconsistencies initially presented by their data. In particular, they have reconciled the global supply of Intermediate Consumption derived from supply/use balances with the global demand expressed by the industry accounts.

Objectives

This mission must permit users to finish compiling the accounts of their base year. First the Use matrix will be completed, followed by the principal synthesis tables: the Supply / Use table, the table of Integrated Economic Accounts.

Activities

Synthesis of the Inter-Industry Trade Table

From the outset, only the margins of the table are in balance: the core of the Intermediate Consumption matrix needs to be supplemented. This involves teamwork, where it would be desirable to have the use of a meeting room with several computers. In this way, each accountant would have access to his work tables and decide, on the basis of all the available facts, whether he accepts or rejects a reconciliation proposal.
NB: It is seriously advised that this synthesis be carried out since it ensures the overall consistency of the data. However, it is not obligatory in ERETES.

Finalisation of the synthesis tables


The Supply / Use table is edited in Microsoft® Excel format from ERETES. Some final changes need to be made: CIF-FOB correction, territorial correction...

The Table of Integrated Economic Accounts may be used for publication straight away.


Timetable and start of the next accounting year


A detailed timetable for compiling the accounts of year (N+1) will be prepared.

Profile of the expert

The person in charge of this mission will be a national accountant with specialist knowledge of ERETES software.

Duration of the mission

One week in the country concerned.
