Population

The population comprises all Norwegian companies defined as public non-financial corporations. Corporations which are General government are excluded since these are entered into the central government and/or the local government.

These are all market oriented non-financial corporations in which the central government or municipality/county municipality directly or indirectly owns more than 50 per cent of the shares.  These include all companies incorporated by special legislation market entities.

The statistic does not include the company consolidated account.

The accounting statistics comprises income statement, balance sheet and selected accounting key figures.

The accounting figures for State´s Direct Financial Interest (SDFI) are collected from Petoros AS Annual Accounting Report for 20XX.

Data sources and sampling

The basis of the statistics is by accounting reports are obtained by the Tax questionnaire on accounting reported to the Directorate of Taxes. The statistics does not include the consolidated financial account.

With the effect from 2005, the statisticsNorwayhas obtained direct accounting information from the Central Register of Establishment of Enterprises when necessary.

By electronic reporting, the companies send a copy of the Tax questionnaire directly to Statistics Norway via Altinn.

Specifications of some selected items in the balance sheet are reported on an additional questionnaire. Accounting information for the Municipality Energy Supply corporations are collected from the "Economics and Technical report to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate and Statistics Norway". Accounting information for smaller corporations are obtained directly from the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises. Accounting information obtained by this method is less detailed than the Tax questionnaires on accounting.

Collection of data, editing and estimations

The Statistics Norway collects the Tax questionnaires on accounting on the companies when these are not available. The Tax questionnaires are sent out and are sent back when completed by the companies. This must be return within a stipulated deadline to the Statistics Norway.

The questionnaire is issued in connection with the deadline of providing the Tax questionnaire to the Norwegian Tax authority. The deadline for sending in the questionnaires to Statistics Norway is usually the last week in June.

The data are registered in a common accounting database at Statistics Norway that comprises both public and private non-financial corporations.

Control and revision are automatically built-in the accounting database at Statistics Norway This constitutes a control and revision of the balance sheet in accordance with the annual accounts and a macro control.

Seasonal adjustment

Not applicable

Confidentiality

This is in accordance by Statistic Act § 2-6, information published may not be traced back or identified to any individual. This is to ensure that there is no direct disclosure about individual corporations to the general public.

Comparability over time and space

Changes in the accountancy and the company act, as well as the grouping of items in the Tax questionnaires causes deviation in time series.

Starting from 2005, Norwegian companies can opt for International Financial Report Standards (IFRS) in their annual accounting reports. This has affected the comparability of different companies applying different principles.

Accuracy and reliability

Sources of error and uncertainty

The major sources of error have usually been the inability of tracking the ongoing changes in the population. The population is established by an inspection of the share of public ownership in the various corporations as it is registered in the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises. This register is updated continuously on the basis of newly established corporations or annual company accounts.

The degree of information provided in the annual accounts by various corporations differs. In addition the companies practices different accounting principles in the same questionnaires, and this inconsistency of practice generates problems for the statistics.

Changes in Statistics Norway's information about the ownership structure in the corporations have significantly affected the changes in the total number of public corporations. 

In some cases, whereby no accounting data are available, Tax questionnaires are re-constructed based upon data available from the previous years.

Variance: Not applicable
Bias: Not applicable
Non-response: The accounting statistics only include data for the enterprises that Statistics Norway could obtain data on. Non-response is not very high.

The population requires updating continuously. This is as the result of incorrect classification of sector or industrial classification which can affect the result statistics.
