The possible causes, potential methods of detection and remedies are discussed. Statistical analysis is used to analyze time series data of most of the countries that adhere to the Special Data Dissemination Standard of the International Monetary Fund. The Net Errors and Omissions item is analyzed, both for randomness, systematic behavior, correlation with other Balance of Payments items, and other major economic variables. Revision histories of all the underlying items of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position are researched in search for clues of the most common caused for revisions. A survey among the compilers of Balance of Payments Accounts was conducted, asking for their opinions on the potential causes of, and remedies for Net Errors and Omissions. The main conclusions are; that there are cases where there are evidences of systematic behavior of the Net Errors and Omissions, which can indicate a potential for improvement. Financial Account items seem to be more subjected to revisions than those of the Current Account and Capital Account items. The compilers see counter accounting in the double-entry accounting system as the most likely source of errors, and exchanging information amongst themselves across borders as the best way of improving the accounts.Costa, Ana Cristina Marinho daMatos, João CadeteRUNKristinson, Tomas Orn2016-12-16T15:14:10Z2016-11-222016-11-22T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/19594TID:201332086enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:01:19Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/19594Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:25:33.517623Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
