Abstract

[fre] Le statisticien s'est penché sur les pratiques comptables des entreprises qui souhaitent disposer, en cours d'année, d'une information régulière sur leur activité. Se limitant aux grandes et moyennes entreprises du commerce et de l'industrie, une enquête établit, selon la taille et les secteurs d'activité, la périodicité des comptes d'exploitation et des évaluations de stocks. Si beaucoup d'entreprises établissent au moins un compte d'exploitation en cours d'exercice, à la fin du premier semestre, seulement la moitié le font chaque mois. Parmi celles-ci, on trouve bien sûr la quasi-totalité des plus grandes. La taille, plus que l'activité, s'avère également être un facteur déterminant pour qu'existe un suivi régulier des stocks, souvent géré par un matériel informatique. [eng] Accounting Practices and Inventory in Businesses - The author looked carefully at accounting practices in firms which want to get regular information about their activity in the course of the year. The study limits itself to the middle range and large firms in trade and industry. The survey produced data, according to the size of the firm and the sector of its activities, outlining the periodicity of operational accounts and the inventory of stock. If many firms produce at least one operational account in the course of their year, only half, at the end of the first semester, did it for each month. Among these latter, nearly all of the large ones figure. The size of the firm, more than its sector of activity, proves to be a determining factor ensuring that a regular follow-up of stocks takes place, especially when these latter are handled by computers. [spa] Procedimientos contables y evaluaciones de los stocks en las empresas - El estadistico examinó los procedimientos contables de las empresas que anhelan disponer, en el transcurso del año, de datos puntuales relativos a su actividad. Una encuesta, que se limita a la gran y a la mediana empresa comercial e industrial, fija, según tamano y sectores de actividad, la periodicidad de las cuentas de explotación o de las evaluaciones de stocks. Si muchas empresas elaboran, por lo menos, una cuenta de explotación en el curso del ejercicio a fines del primer semestre, la mitad tan solo lo lleva a cabo cada mes. Entre estas, se halla casi la totalidad de las mayores empresas. La dimension más que la actividad se verifica un factor déterminante en la evaluación puntual de los stocks, los que con frecuencia estan administrados mediante material informático.
