NAS against a Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF).
XX. Satellite Accounts
In order to analyze a specific field in depth using the SNA framework, the SNA
recommends compilation of satellite accounts. These accounts concentrate on one field to
give a full picture of it, in a systematic way. These satellite accounts allow flexibility with
reference to adoption of concepts, procedures and classifications, without disturbing the core
framework of national accounts. For example, the tourism satellite accounts adopt an industrial
classification which cuts across all the industrial sectors as per UN’s International Standards
Industrial Classification (ISIC). Similarly, for household satellite accounts, the concept of
production boundary can be extended to capture some non-market voluntary services.

are responsible for collecting and disseminating statistics on the related subjects. The National
Accounts Division provides any technical expertise that is required by the nodal agencies for
compiling the satellite accounts.
