1. A global world: increasing need of microdata
And the diversity aswell!
We have to know the population
We need to know the singularities
And, yes: nationality still is important

2. How the cake is cut?
National Accounts and Financial Accounts are not enough
Need of direct sources of contrast
Key performance indicators of NFC: an increasing demand
But taking care of the reporting burden: use of business accounting
What about harmonization?: IFRS as solution
Need of more microdata, to know how the cake is cut and who eats it

ECCBSO PRESENTATION
European Committee of Central Balance-Sheet
Data Offices
The European Committee of Central Balance-Sheet Data Offices (ECCBSO) is an informal body whose members consist of experts either from the Central
Balance-Sheet Data Offices belonging to or associated with the National Central Banks (NCB) of the European Community, or from National Statistical Institutes.
The main task of the ECCBSO is to improve the analysis of Non-financial corporate enterprises data through the exchange of information and joint studies, on the
basis of the work carried out by the national central balance-sheet data offices which collect, store and diffuse descriptive and accounting firm data, and starting
from these information, they develop economic and financial research.
The structure of the ECCBSO is the following:

4. Globalization: the need to use individual and
consolidated accounts
All European CBSO:
From the outset, individual accounts databases / Some countries also
created consolidated accounts databases 10 years ago, for risk assessment
Globalisation and groups pose a challenge to statisticians: consolidated
accounts are more necessary
Individual Accounts necessary for:
Aggregates by sector of activity
Analysis with common samples (without changes in the perimeter of
consolidation): growth rate of activity or net profit
Consolidated Accounts necessary for:
Debt Analysis, solvency and risk assessment
A new approach is required:
Individual data, aggregated and adjusted with intragroup operations (to avoid
the double accounting)
Use of both databases, individual and consolidated financial statements
Demand of truncated consolidated accounts: please, using the law!
