Production of Government Sector AccountsStatistics Austria
PARADIGMA, October 2011
Motivation & Goals of Statistics Austria
High visibility as a result of Maastricht
Traceability and auditability of methods & processes to
meet quality standards
ESA 95 functional requirements (FISIM, constant
prices, quarterly accounts, ...)
Data volume growth strongly suggested the use of a
RDBMS in lieu of flat files and EXCEL spreadsheets
Processing time (elapsed time) up to 45h for mapping
the financial accounts to ESA transactions
A scheduling and process management system to
address the increasing complexity
Production of general government sector accounts
Merge sources,
quality checks

Accrued Benefits ...
Significant reductions in the rule application cycle
allow the national accounts experts to try alternative combinations of methods and to gauge their impact on the results in "quasi-real" time.
Improvement in data quality (consistency and coherence)
statisticians are able to configure and document “check & test” routines
Versioning concept supports auditing of results
Scheduling system enables the traceability of the production process
Pervasive use of consistent metadata within the department
Authentic Data Set concept implemented - homogeneous dataset for internal as well as external users.
Standardized procedures to access national accounts data for authorized users.
Reports used produced using the capabilities of SuperWEB
The way forward ...
Financial Transactions
STAT has assumed the responsibility to produce the financial ESA transactions
Improve the integration of yearly and quarterly production
Improve estimation of missing municipal data for quarterly statistics
Use quarterly data to derive annual national accounts
Consider the use of SuperVIEW for dissemination
not restricted to national accounts, but intended to used for a broad range of statistical results
