Statistical population
Committee Population (FRAME) describes the population from which the sample to Accounting, Book-Keeping and Auditing Activities is drawn. FRAME includes all enterprises in the sector Accounting, Book-Keeping and Auditing Activities in the Business Register System, which are active in the extraction time. (Active enterprises are enterprises, which have paid in wage and salary for employees corresponding to at least 0.5 man-year and/or have had calculated earnings of a certain volume.)
Target population describes the population as respondents (the selected enterprises) shall be estimated to. The target population includes all enterprises in the sector Accounting, Book-Keeping and Auditing Activities in the Business Register System, which are active when estimation/calculation is carried out. There may be situations where some enterprises are located in FRAME but not in the target population. This is due to business closure or industry changes between the draw of FRAME and the target population. Similarly, it can also happen that there are some enterprises in the target population but not in FRAME, because data in the target population are updated with recent and new information, thus the target population could include new enterprises.
FRAME 2020 for Accounting, Book-Keeping and Auditing Activities includes about 4779 enterprises. Furthermore the FRAME is bounded so enterprises that have under five full-time employees, are sorted out. The total number of enterprises in the FRAME 2022 is estimated to 301. The target population for Accounting, Book-Keeping and Auditing Activities is estimated to 4779 enterprises.
