The French Business Register : from a quality approach …. to a statistical register A. Skalitz – INSEE 26 novembre 2008
Description of SIRENE ØSIRENE : - a national business register in which all businesses and their local units are registered - since 1994 : a unique identification number, at the core of the inter-administrative system ØContent of SIRENE : - identification data : civil status of businesses, legal form, the date it was set up and when it ceased trading - address of local units - a code identifying the principal business activity carried out, number of employees - as SIRENE is used in the areas of statistics and trade : economic classification variables (list drawn up after consulting statisticians using the system) From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Inventory of users and requirements Users Some requirements Inter-administrative use Unique identification (administrative partners Exhaustiveness (even units involved in managing the which are registered only for register and businesses) the needs of a partner) Legal termination Dissemination of information Address, Activity code Statistical use : Exhaustiveness but reference groups Identification Stratification data Economic termination business demography basis for sampling “survey” managers From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
An “administrative” approach of the quality ØQuality is taken into account in day-to-day management : - a workstation with automated processing capabilities (receiving standardized “administrative” information via EDI) which guarantees uniform processing - checks into the data-processing flow ØQuality is taken into account as an “independent component” (“quality operations”) : - at the initiative of register managers - at the request of those in charge of surveys ØThe register managers bring into play quality with the limitations of an interadministrative register Quite “administrative” approach of the quality From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Volumes of “quality operations” Ø Updates - each year 100, 000 legal units with their activity code updated-validated - 3. 5 million units (legal units or local units) with employee statistics - 2 million businesses with turnover statistics updated Ø Checks - 15, 000 units checked at the request of statisticians (wrong address for example) - 15, 000 possible duplicate entries examined - 50, 000 units possibly misidentified as operational examined ØSurveys - in 2007, 200, 000 surveys-questionnaires sent for the introduction of the NACE From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Links between « quality operations » and Eurostat quality report ? 1/2 Ø“Relevant” component - the identification of statistical users and of their expectations taken into account - some “quality operations” based on the request of statisticians Ø“Accuracy” component - meaningless… - but the “quality operations” improve the “accuracy” of the sampling plans. Ø Timeliness and punctuality - register daily updated by administrative partners (sometimes insufficient ? ) - mass updates : data are included as soon as available - discrepancies : examined as quick as possible. From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Links between « quality operations » and Eurostat quality report ? 2/2 Ø Accessibility and clarity of the information: - frozen versions of the business register (for all users or for specific needs) produced quarterly and yearly - each month : an extract of the register for the staff responsible of the dissemination of information - for all statisticians : a specific tool, to get all the data of a list of units, at a given date ØComparability of statistics : - few statistics spring from the register except “business demography”. - the day-to-day management of the register and the advanced level of automation provide comparability of statistics (in the time) ØCoherence - maybe a lack of the register ? From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Towards a new statistical register Prospective 1/2 ØReview : the use of SIRENE as a central tool for business statistics comes up against its twofold role - legal vs economic cessation - exhaustiveness vs reference groups ØRecent overhaul of the annual business statistics: one of its outputs “to come” is a “statistical register” ØAims of the “statistical register” : - based on the “inter-administrative” register - and/but closer to the requirements of the statisticians. From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
Towards a new statistical register Prospective 2/2 ØNew concepts - the definition of “statistical units” - the addition of specific data - the definition of “reference populations” ØA new “quality management” - statisticians will manage quality - a “quality operation” # “checking all mistakes in a population” - more “statistical” updates - more automatized updates => classification of sources (to solve inconsistencies between several sources) ØMaybe the definition of indicators to measure quality of this statistical register From a quality approach to a statistical register November 2008
