INTRODUCTION

According to the SNA 2008 the “System of National Accounts (SNA) “ is the
internationally agreed standard set of recommendations on how to compile
measures of economic activity in accordance with strict accounting conventions
based on economic principles. The recommendations are expressed in terms of a
set of concepts, definitions, classifications and accounting rules that comprise the
internationally agreed standard for measuring such items as gross domestic
product (GDP), the most frequently quoted indicator of economic performance.
Upstream , there are data bases. These are statistical basic that National Accountants
utilize to compile the set of macroeconomic accounts .They are from several
sources. Downstream, there are the results of the measures of economics activity.
These are the national accounts which are the expected results from the National
Accountants.
The implementation of the SNA needs a strong and meticulous organization of the
National Accountants’ work . This can be facilitated by a software suitably conceived
for the national accounts.
INTRODUCTION (Cont’d)
• During my professional career , I notice two big
problems on national accounts. The first is the
National Accountants’ repetitive tasks and the
second one is the lack of the link between national
accounts and the statistical basic. I know that these
problems can be solved by software. So I have
decided to do it by myself. These are oriented my
work on this software.
• Madagascar uses it now to compile national
accounts.
OBJECTIVES
• The main objective is to facilitate the work of
National Accountants in the implementation
of the SNA and in the compilation of national
accounts,
• The specific objectives:
– To bring into focus the data base for national accounts,
– To allow other economic analysis from the data base.
KEY FINDINGS
This tool can:
• Get Supply and Use Table in value and volume,
• Reduce significatively the working time of
National Accountants,
• Get data base more comprehensive,
consistent and integrated.

To launch the software ability
How to add data base?
How to correct the data?
How to get the results?
Challenges, opportunities and gap
analysis
• To compile other synthesis tables of national
accounts,
• The tool can provide all tables for the national
accounts publication,
• The tool can be used for the economic prevision,
• The tool performance depends on the capacity of
MS-Office « Excel ».
Challenges, opportunities and gap
analysis (Cont’d)
• The data bases provide more opportunities:
– To compile social accounting matrix,
– To breakdown the GDP for International Comparison
Program,
– To compile environnemental accounts as IMF’s,
– To elaborate Input-Output model from the data base
but not from the national accounts (aggregate data),
– To make other economic analysis.
CONCLUSION
• The tool makes National Accountants more
effective.
• The tool doesn’t need a big financial
investment because its langage of program
software is VBA of MS-Office «Excel». «Excel»
is accessible by everyone.
• A lot of opportunities are provided by the
tool.
• The tool can be developed for more issues.
