QUALITY ASSESSMENT APPROACH
WHAT WAS THE APPROACH?
The quality assessment process synthesised information about the quality of the datasets listed as contributing to each essential statistic, to provide statistic assessment results for 71 of the 74 essential statistical assets identified on the 2013 ESA list (three statistics were data gaps and an assessment could not be produced). This information was gathered by the ABS in a standardised approach through a quality assessment tool, but was undertaken in collaboration with ESA data custodian agencies and departments.
