Key Figures for Municipalities Accounts

Reference is made to the section on concepts and definitions with a view to assessing comparability among key figures.

Comparability - geographical

The key figures are not strictly comparable with international statistics.

Comparability over time

The key figures have been compiled back to 2008. The statistical accuracy is, in particular, hampered by the following challenges related to the municipality accounts. - Changes in the budgeting and accounting system for municipalities related to the functions used for the key figures. - There are changes in the structure of tasks and accounting practice in the municipalities over time. - Differences in the accounting practice among municipalities

Coherence - cross domain

The key figures use data from the following tables REGK4, REGK11, REGK31, REGK100, BUDK1, FOLK1A and UDDAKT20 from the database StatBank Denmark.

Coherence - internal

For coherence – internal, reference is made to the documentations of statistics for Municipality and Region Accounts, Population and Statistics Register of Pupils.
