Abstract

These guidelines have been prepared to help national accounts compilers implement measures to improve the numerical consistency of the accounts. This handbook contains definitions, explanations, recommendations and examples of good practice under the current 2010 European system of national and regional accounts (ESA 2010). All recommendations aim to ensure that the output of national accounts compilation is numerically consistent across the related accounts and their datasets.
