TABLE 1. POPULATION AND UNITS



    ICW
    ANA
    SNA93

    Population in scope
    All private Households including unincorporated business enterprises owned by households.
    Corresponds to household sector except that ANA also includes some additional unincorporated enterprises e.g. small non-profit organisations.
    Corresponds to household sector. (SNA93 has a separate sector for non-profit enterprises serving households.)

      Statistical units
      (see Chapter 7)
    Households viewed as multiple economic units engaged in a range of transactions both outside and within the single physical unit e.g. exchange of labour for wages/salaries in productive activity outside the unit and exchange of labour for goods and services (income in-kind) produced within the unit.
    With the exception of unincorporated enterprises, ANA views households as units of consumption only. With the exception of owner-occupied dwellings (for which a market value for rent is imputed) and homes built by owner-builders, non-market production and transactions within the household are ignored.
    With the exception of unincorporated enterprises, SNA93 main accounts view households as units of consumption only. Owner-occupiers and households employing paid domestic staff are deemed to own household unincorporated enterprises.
    Households are seen as units of production, ownership and consumption.
    Only unincorporated enterprises are seen as units of production and ownership of fixed assets. With the exception of owner-occupied dwellings, private households cannot own fixed assets. Households owning their own dwelling are treated as unincorporated enterprises.
    Only unincorporated enterprises are seen as units of production and ownership of fixed assets. Subsistence farmers/producers, owner-builders, owner-occupiers and households employing paid domestic staff are deemed to own household unincorporated enterprises.
    The production boundary can be extended in satellite accounts to include own-account production of personal and domestic services by members of the household.
    In addition to households (and unincorporated enterprises owned by households) the ICW is also concerned with the following units:
    Not identified in ANA.
    Not identified in SNA93.
      • Person (see Chapter 7, paragraph 7.3)
      • Family (see Chapter 7, paragraph 7.10)
      • Income unit (see Chapter 7, paragraph 7.13)



TABLE 2. CURRENT ACCOUNT COMPONENTS


    ICW
    ANA
    SNA93

    The current account
    The current account deals with receipts in the form of income (cash and in-kind), and disbursements in the form of consumption of goods and services (purchased and in-kind) and saving.
    Equivalent of Income and Outlay Account for Households (including unincorporated enterprises). Differing to the extent that definitions of Income and Consumption differ. (See below)

      Income (see Chapter 8)
      Those receipts (cash and in-kind) that are of a regular and recurring nature, and are received by the household or its members at annual or more frequent intervals.
      Similar to household income except non-market in-kind income is excluded, and termination/ severance pay is included.
      Similar to income receivable by households (which is spread over three accounts) but SNA93 excludes much of the non-market, in-kind income produced within households. However provision is made in satellite accounts to extend the definition of income (imputed) in line with extended production boundaries.
      Includes regular receipts from employment, own business, and lending of assets.
      Also includes some lump sum receipts. (See Employee Income below)

TABLE 3. CAPITAL ACCOUNT COMPONENTS

    ICW
    ANA
    SNA93

    The capital account deals with acquisition of non-financial assets and financial assets of the household and the financing of these acquisitions. Capital and current accounts are linked through flows of saving or dissaving.
    Basically the same, with capital account linked to income and outlay account through saving or dissaving. Some components treated differently. (See below)
    SNA93 capital account records the values of non-financial assets that are acquired or disposed of through transactions, and shows the change in net worth due to saving and capital transfers.

    A separate financial account records transactions that involve financial assets and liabilities.
      Wealth/Net worth (see Chapter 12)



    Defined as the difference between a household's stock of non-financial assets and financial assets, and its stock of liabilities.
    Same at sector level. For any one sector, net worth is equal to the total value of all assets held less the value of financial liabilities (and share capital for corporate enterprises.)
    Same. The total value of the assets owned by an institutional unit or sector minus the total value of its liabilities is described as its net worth.

    Non-financial assets include:

      Capital transfers (see Chapter 13)

      Capital transfers received (see paragraph 13.1)


    Irregular or non-recurring receipts, generally one-off and relatively large lump sums received either as cash or in-kind. They involve the transfer of ownership of an asset and are viewed as an addition to capital stocks even though they may be subsequently dissaved.

    transfers between households.

    Transfers from private institutions and enterprises include:
  • Maturity payments on life insurance;
  • Legal damages;
  • Lump sum compensation for injuries;
  • Other casualty claims (including worker's compensation);
  • Lump sum termination payments;

    ANA includes lump sum termination payments as part of wages & salaries
    . Worker's compensation claims paid to employees are included in supplements.

    SNA93 treats termination payments as employee social benefits in the Secondary Distribution of Income Account.
  • Lottery and other gambling winnings.
    Winnings from lotteries and other gambling contribute negatively to final consumption expenditure on this item.
    Winnings from lotteries and other gambling are treated as transfers between households rather than from a private institution to a household.

    Transfers from government comprise investment grants (for unincorporated enterprises).

    ANA includes capital grants to NPISHs.

    Same as ICW - NPISHs form a separate sector.


      Capital transfers outlaid (see paragraph 13.6)
    Cash or in-kind transfers financed out of capital stocks rather than current income involving the transfer of ownership of an asset.Generally one-off or infrequent and relatively large amounts.
    Similar in principle regarding transfer of financial assets but ANA doesn't recognise ownership of non-financial assets for households so transfers of same are treated as final consumption expenditure (by the purchaser not the recipient).
    Same regarding financial assets but does not recognise ownership of non-financial assets (except in satellite accounts) by private households. Transfers of non-financial assets are treated as final consumption expenditure by the household which makes the transfer rather than the recipient.
    Includes:
  • Donations to charities
  • Gifts to other households
  • Other property or lump sum settlements.

      Net acquisition of non-financial assets (see Chapter 14)
    The acquisition (through purchase or transfer) minus the disposal (through sale or transfer) of non-financial assets held by the household and unincorporated enterprises owned by the household.
    No equivalent concept in ANA.Partly covered by gross fixed capital expenditure and net purchase of land and intangible assets. But these concepts are not applied to private households.
    Covered in the Capital Account by four items:
  • Gross fixed capital formation
  • Changes in inventories
  • Acquisitions less disposals of valuables
  • Acquisitions less disposals of non-produced, non-financial assets
    However these concepts are not applied to private households.
    Net acquisition of non-financial assets is classified according to nature of assets:
  • Owner occupied dwellings (including land);
  • Other buildings and land;
  • Household consumer durables;
  • Plant, machinery and stock (for unincorporated enterprises);
  • Valuables;
  • Intangible, non-produced assets.

      Net lending (see Chapter 15)
    Excess of net acquisitions of financial assets over the net incurrence of financial liabilities.
    Same in principle.
    Net lending/borrowing is a balancing item in the Capital Account. Financial transactions are dealt with in the Financial Account where net incurrence of liabilities less net acquisition of financial assets is equal in value, with the opposite sign, to net lending/ borrowing.


    Financial assets include:
  • Cash holdings
  • Deposits in financial institutions and loans to other households;
  • Securities (shares, stocks and bonds);
  • Loans to other entities;
  • Equity in life insurance reserves and pension funds.


    ANA does not recognise financial transactions between private households.

    Liabilities include principal owing on:
  • Mortgage(s) on owner-occupied dwelling;
  • Other mortgages;
  • Other loans
  • Other debts and liabilities.
