Financial operations of enterprises are based on data on operating income, operating costs, stocks and investments in tangible fixed assets. The data obtained by means of this survey are used to calculate quarterly macroeconomic aggregates. Furthermore, these data can also be used for the following purposes: current monitoring and study of trends in the non-financial business economy; current analysis of the effects of economic policy measures on the non-financial business economy; study of the development and structural changes in the non-financial business economy, particularly in business services as well as the fulfillment of the requirements towards international organisations concerning short-term indicators on the turnover of business services. The users of those data are: government bodies, chambers of commerce, scientific institutes and other organisations studying and analyzing short-term trends in the business economy, as well as enterprises and other individual users of data. Reporting units, statistical units Reporting units are all economically active enterprises engaged in the non-financial business economy. The reporting units are also other legal entities producing and providing market-oriented services, i.e. provided that their revenues from sale of goods, products and services exceed 50% of the operating income. The reporting units are all economically active enterprises and other legal entities that, pursuant to the Law on the Classification of Activities (Official Journal o f R S , N o 1 0 4 / 0 9 ) a n d R e g u l a t i o n o n t h e C l a s s i f i c a t i o n o f A c t i v i t i e s ( O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f R S , N o 5 4 / 0 9 ) , a r e c l a s s i f i e d i n t o t h e f o l l o w i n g s e c t i o n s : A g r i c u l t u r e , f o r e s t r y a n d f i s h i n g M i n i n g a n d q u a r r y i n g C M a n u f a c t u r i n g D E l e c t r i c i t y , g a s , s t e a m a n d a i r c o n d i t i o n i n g s u p p l y W a t e r s u p p l y ; s e w e g e , w a s t e m a n a g e m e n t a n d r e m e d i a t i o n a c t i v i t i e s F C o n s t r u c t i o n G W h o l e s a l e a n d r e t a i l t r a d e ; r e p a i r o f m o t o r v e h i c l e s a n d m o t o r c y c l e s H T r a n s p o r t a t i o n a n d s t o r a g e I A c c o m m o d a t i o n a n d f o o d s e r v i c e a c t i v i t i e s J I n f o r m a t i o n a n d c o m m u n i c a t i o n L R e a l e s t a t e a c t i v i t i e s P r o f e s s i o n a l , s c i e n t i f i c a n d t e c h n i c a l a c t i v i t i e s N A d m i n i s t r a t i v e a n d s u p p o r t s e r v i c e a c t i v i t i e s P E d u c a t i o n Q H u m a n h e a l t h a n d s o c i a l w o r k a c t i v i t i e s R A r t s , e n t e r t a i n m e n t a n d r e c r e a t i o n S t h e r s e r v i c e a c t i v i t i e s T h e m a i n s t a t i s t i c a l u n i t i n s t r u c t u r a l b u s i n e s s s t a t i s t i c s i s a b u s i n e s s e n t i t y .

Units from the sample frame are stratified by activities, number of employees (less than 50 employees, 50 employees and more) and by turnover volume (large ones being enumerated and the others from which the sample is selected). The sample comprises approximately 2900 business units, of which about 1500 of the largest are selected purposely (enumerated). The other units are selected randomly. The estimations of totals, quotients and proportions are performed by standard procedure for sample stratification and simple random sample within the stratum. Preliminary results refer to the current quarter and are calculated immediately after data collection and editing. Upon expiration of the four quarters, final estimates for all the quarters are being calculated again. The main source of data to compile the Quarterly structural report on operations of enterprises is compulsory records, primarily financial and worksh o p a c c o u n t i n g a s w e l l a s o t h e r r e c o r d s ( t a x , h u m a n r e s o u r c e s ) a n d f i n a n c i a l s e t t l e m e n t s b l i g a t i o n t o p r o t e c t i n d i v i d u a l d a t a T h e o b l i g a t i o n t o p r o t e c t i n d i v i d u a l d a t a i s b a s e d o n A r t i c l e 3 o f t h e P r o v i s i o n o n t h e p r o t e c t i o n o f d a t a p r o v i d e r s , a n d a r t i c l e s 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49 of the Provision on confidentiality of the Law on Official Statistics (Official Journal of RS, No 104/09).

Raw materials stocks represent the value of accounted purchases of raw materials (raw materials and basic materials, auxiliary materials, other materials, fuels and lubricants, materials being processed, finished off and handled, packaging write-off); spare parts and tools and inventories. Work in progress stocks represent the value of work in progress and services in progress. Finished products stocks represent the value of finished products and finished services. Goods stocks represent the value of the accounted value of goods purchased; goods in warehouses, depots and stores with other legal entities; goods in retail trade; goods being processed, finished off and handled; goods in transit and on the road. Number of employees (quarterly average) represents the number of persons who work in an enterprise, have a work contract for definite or indefinite time and are paid for their work. The number of employees includes all persons on payroll, including home workers, apprentices, paid working proprietors and paid family working, those on temporary leave, part-time employees.

Level of data representativeness The results of the Quarterly Structural Business Survey are estimates produced on the basis of a sample of selected units. The results are produced for the Serbia total, at the level of sections of the Classification of Activities (2010). Starting from 1999, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia does not have available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohia, therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total). As the objective of this survey is to measure the dynamics of financial results of enterprises business operations, related indices are produced at quarterly (current quarter/previous quarter) and annual level (current quarter/same quarter of the previous year). Harmonisation with international recommendations, standards and practice Some methodological solution, in line with the Methodology of short-term business statistics, Commission regulation No 588/2001 concerning short term statistics regards the definitions of variables, Eurostat, 2006.
