PRESENTATION European ropeancommittee of Central Balance Sheet http://www.eccbso.org/ http://www.bachesd.banque france.fr/ banq e fr/ The () has developed two bases: namely the Bank for Accounts of Companies Harmonized (BACH) and the European Sectoral references Database (ESD). In the near future, BACH base will include both sets of. BACH (harmonized annual accounts statistics; aggregated ) nine European countries at least 0 financial years (from 000 onwards) 95 major items of the balance sheet, of the profit and loss account business sectors corresponding to the NACE rev.

PRESENTATION European ropeancommittee of Central Balance Sheet http://www.eccbso.org/ The () has created four working groups: namely RISK ASSESSMENT WORKING GROUP, BACH ESD WORKING GROUP, III WORKING GROUP ON IFRS IMPACT AND CBSO DATABASES and STUDY GROUP. RISK ASSESSMENT WG The Risk Assessment Working Group was set up in order to draw up the so called White Paper on corporate analysis in Europe and to draft reports on the analysis of stocks and flows conducted in the various central balance sheet offices. The group then expanded its project and its members have been working in cooperation with the related divisions of the European Central Bank, homogenizing the risk analysis. BACH ESD WG The BACH ESDWorkingGroupisinchargeofdevelopingandimproving two European statistical bases: the BACH base or Bank for Accounts of Companies Harmonized, and the BACH ESD base or European Sectoral References base. These bases provide comparable sectoral statistics from annual accounts of non financial incorporated companies of a number of European countries. III WG ON IFRS IMPACT AND CBSO DATABASES STUDY GROUP The III Working Group primarily focuses on the impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the IASB, on the accountancy of non financial corporations and their effects on the European central balance sheet offices bases and questionnaires, trying to assess both potential opportunities and risks. The Study Group focuses mainly on the analysis of equity capitalization in an international setting. It has already produced three studies. The most recent one deals with Net Worth at Risk (NWaR), which was published in August 005. NWaR is dealing with the minimum capital needed by acompany in order to absorb potential losses for/during a period of two years of crises. q, y g p pp y p y p / g 7 REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0

Several economic studies have beenmadebasedonbachand BACH ESD bases. BACH ESD WG The research of the Working Group on Risk Assessment is dedicated to credit risk modeling and measurement. RISK ASSESSMENT WG III WG ON IFRS IMPACT AND CBSO DATABASE The Group has developed IFRScompliant standard formats (using the IFRS Taxonomy) and created a base of European Records of IFRS Consolidated Accounts (ERICA). Currently, the Group is doing supplemental research on NWaR, as well as taking into consideration aspects of illiquidity. STUDY GROUP 8 REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0

QUESTIONNAIRE APPROACH The strength of the Committee lies in the different goals and work methods employed in each national central balance sheet office: although all them have in common the use of accounting for different purposes, the goals achieved by each institution, and the products and services offered by them, are quite diverse. This allows the different working groups of the to cover a vast scope of matters. Although the website of the Committee diffuses widely the works done by the s working groups, it seems convenient to include also some explanatory remarks about the tasks developed by each member. This Report aims to take stock of the products and services currently developed, and/ or under development in the different Central Balance Sheet members of it. To that aim, it was developed a questionnaire to acknowledge the different work done across Europe. The questionnaire comprises five parts: General Information, Raw, Products and Services (P&S), Future P&S and Summary Table. QUESTIONNAIRE STRUCTURE PART I PART II GENERAL NFORMATION RAW DATA Global characterization of each CBSO Characteristics of CBSO sources PART III PART IV PART V P&S FUTURE P&S SUMMARY TABLE Main features of each product and service currently provided by every CBSO General characteristics of new CBSO sources and CBSO products and services A summary of the answers 0 REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0

However, it was not considered in the Report because it does not run a genuine Central Balance Sheet base. REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0

CHARACTERIZATION OF CBSOs The major part of the European Central Balance Sheet (CBSO) are installed in National Central Banks (G). From our sample, a significant part of the CBSOs that belong to National Central Banks (NCBs) are directly associated with the statistical function (G). CBSOs belonging to other type of institutions have the following main tasks: analysis/ research (), statistics (National Statistical institute) and risk assessment/ rating (private company). It is somewhat important to bear in mind that the questionnaire was delivered to members, which are mainly constituted by National Central Banks. However, according to the results of this questionnaire: National Statistical Institutes play an important role in: Czech Republic and Poland; and, Private companies are important in Denmark and Italy. G TYPE OF INSTITUTION G MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE CBSOs IN NCBs 3 7 3 National Central Bank National Statistical Institute Private Company Statistics Risk Assessment/Rating Fin. Stability Publication of micro Supervision NB: two different entities were considered for Italy (NCB and private company). NB: In Germany CBSO base is managed by two different Departments with two different objectives. For that reason, for this country it was considered two main objectives. 3 REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0

CBSOs DATABASES Knowledge of the sources is the basis of any analysis or statistics. Not only the type that each one of the bases has, but also the interest and usability (measured, for instance, in terms of the representativeness of the ). Among the fourteen countries that have answered to this questionnaire, it was encountered 44 bases directly linked to the CBSOs, which in average represents 3 bases per country. In general, the major part of the bases under the supervision of CBSOs are possible to be agglomerated by periodicity/ accounting consolidation: Annual accounts (individual/ consolidated accounts), Quarterly accounts (individual/ consolidated accounts), Semi annual accounts (individual/ id consolidated d accounts) t) and Other (Descriptive dtb bases, Business Register and Central lcreditregister). G3 NUMBER OF DATABASES BY PERIODICITY AND ACCOUNTS CONSOLIDATION Annual 6 6 4 In terms of periodicity of raw, a significant part concern annual (G3); 6 out of 44 sources. It seems that all countries have at least annual, although in Romania this is based on semi annual accounts. Quarterly 5 In terms of whether the sources incorporate individual accounts or/and consolidated accounts, it seems clear from the graph that individual Semi annual Individual accounts are most common in European CBSO bases; out of 44 sources. Other 7 Consolidated Individual & consolidated The major part of quarterly concerns individual ; 5 out of 8 sources. Note: Other refers to Descriptive bases, Business Register and Central Credit Register For more information, see BOX. REPORT 0 Products and Services of the European CBSOs April 0 5

CBSOs DATABASES Regarding the Other bases Descriptive bases, Business Register and Central Credit Register only 3 countries (France, Italy and Portugal) have some under its own responsibility (G4). In this field, the CBSOs from these countries find particularly useful to run Business Register.

Of the fifteen European countries/entities* that are considered in the present analysis it was found a total of 3 P&S. It is important to notice that Luxembourg has no P&S in the moment because its activity as a CBSO is starting this year. For this reason, Luxembourg will only be considered in the section of Future P&S. According to the answers of the questionnaire, each country/ entity has in average 8 P&S. By P&S categories, the great majority would respect to aggregated (37%).
