Term:
Reporting unit
Definition:
The reporting unit is the unit that reports to the survey authority. It reports information for each of the observation units. In certain cases it may correspond to an observation unit. An example where it is not the same is where an accounting business reports data on behalf of a client business that is the actual subject of the survey.
