This note sets out바카라 사이트¯the improvements we plan to make from April 2021 to April 22 to the quality of HMRC바카라 사이트™s statistics.바카라 사이트¯The improvements are part of a바카라 사이트¯longer programme of work바카라 사이트¯to implement recommendations from the Office for Statistics Regulation바카라 사이트™s review of HMRC바카라 사이트™s official statistics, .바카라 사이트¯

There are 4 main areas of work

  1. reducing statistics publication outputs바카라 사이트¯
  2. documenting how statistics are produced, from data collection to publication바카라 사이트¯
  3. streamlining and standardising statistics production processes바카라 사이트¯
  4. making information on the quality of statistics more readily available바카라 사이트¯

1. Reducing statistics publication outputs바카라 사이트¯

We will amend some 20 of HMRC바카라 사이트™s official statistics publications, to바카라 사이트¯reduce바카라 사이트¯their바카라 사이트¯content,바카라 사이트¯or바카라 사이트¯frequency or (for a few of our publications) drop바카라 사이트¯them바카라 사이트¯altogether. These changes are described in detail in the written response to the statistics consultation carried out in early 2021.바카라 사이트¯

2. Documenting how statistics are produced바카라 사이트¯

We will be바카라 사이트¯improving the documentation of바카라 사이트¯the production process of most of our statistics publications this year, from data collection to publication. This will be a high-level mapping exercise to identify the key stages in the production process and바카라 사이트¯to바카라 사이트¯document바카라 사이트¯key components of바카라 사이트¯what is done at each stage. This will help us to identify the riskiest aspects of the production process, which in turn will inform where we should target future mapping activities or other actions to minimise the risk of바카라 사이트¯errors or misinterpretation in the production process.바카라 사이트¯

3. Streamlining and standardising statistics production바카라 사이트¯

We expect that one of the benefits of the바카라 사이트¯documentation바카라 사이트¯process will be to highlight where it would be beneficial to streamline or standardise the methods or tools used to produce statistics. In taking forward such improvement projects we will use a range of modern statistical tools and software development good practice to carry out all the steps of statistical production, from input data to the final output, in a way that is sustainable and transparent and that fosters robust quality assurance processes. In taking forward these projects we will draw on principles outlined in the Office for Statistics Regulation바카라 사이트™s .바카라 사이트¯

4. Improving availability of quality information바카라 사이트¯

We will make statistics quality reports easier to find on our statistics website and will make it easier for users to find updates regarding issues with our statistics.바카라 사이트¯ 바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯ The actions planned may uncover mistakes in statistics production, for example in interpretation of data.바카라 사이트¯We will keep users informed of any revisions바카라 사이트¯to바카라 사이트¯statistics, should the바카라 사이트¯need바카라 사이트¯to revise arise, in line with HMRC바카라 사이트™s policy on revisions to statistics.바카라 사이트¯
