Abstract

This article describes new measures to improve the quality
of public expenditure data entering into the National Accounts.

The main development is a ‘clear line of sight‘ so those providing and using data can understand how the National Accounts series is compiled.

This will achieve greater transparency and allow easier detection and rectification of potential errors.

These improved mechanisms will make greater use of the new Treasury public finances database COINS.
