Data Collection Process
•
Data were collected using DIFCSTAT, the online portal that provides
companies with a secure, interactive and web based platform to collect
company data including statistical survey information. The link below shows
the DIFCSTAT portal. A total of 477 entities completed the survey
questionnaire (a high response rate of 62% out of a total population of 773).
•
The questionnaire consisted of 5 sections on different components of value
added based on UN-OECD National Income Accounting standards.
DIFCSTAT allowed an interactive data collection process where validation
rules were applied to alert the clients to errors in data entry.
•
Following online submission, Economics Department staff reviewed the data
to ensure data quality and integrity , and approved the forms accordingly.
•
In some cases, survey questionnaires were returned back to the clients with a
request for further clarification. Clients accordingly had to review the data and
re-submit again. This has ensured the highest possible quality of survey
responses. While every effort was made to verify submission, we are not in a
position to conduct on-site verification of data and rely on data provided by
companies.
