| The early preparation of the 1993 revision of the SNA took the form of a number of meetings, organized by UN regional commissions. On the basis of these, the ISWGNA set up a series of meetings where experts in both national accounting generally and specific areas met to discuss what changes should be made to the System. These meetings were organized by topic and included the following: |
