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

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

.

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.

Reduce

significatively

the

work

ing

time of National

Accountants

,

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

.

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.
