Resumo(s)
The recent global financial crisis highlighted the significant degree of interconnection and integration
of economies and identified several gaps in the existing suite of national and international financial
statistics. From this realisation emerged the G20 Data Gaps Initiative (G20DGI) - a set of 20
recommendations on the enhancement of economic and financial statistics. These recommendations
were developed in two phases – the first being G20DGI-1 and the second G20DGI-2, with the second
set building on and replacing the first set. Recommendation 8 of G20DGI-2 identifies the
development of the Balance Sheet Approach (BSA) for integrated sector accounts. In South Africa’s
case, no integrated financial balance sheet and accumulation accounts (FBSAA) exist. This study
presents a proposition to a complete model for the construction of the South African FBSAA model
within a positivist paradigm making use of quantitative research utilising computation techniques.
This is done being mindful of international requirements and guidelines pertaining to data sourcing
and output, whilst also being cognisant of the South African specificities relating to time, resource
and knowledge constraints. One of the main benefits of the FBSAA model is its ability to provide a
holistic view of the financial dimension of the different sectors in a national economy as well as their
international linkages. In addition, it also provides the basis to analyze risks and vulnerabilities in
financial systems in an integrated manner.
