Members all have similar rights
No shareholders
Directed by a group of officers
NPIs can make a surplus or profit

4. To which sector does a NPI belong?
Two questions need to be answered:

11. Production value of NPIs
Part III. Sector Accounts
7 November 2006
Production value of NPIs
The calculation of the production value for this sector is based on its costs: + Intermediate consumption P2A + P2B + Consumption of fixed capital K.1 + Compensation of employees D.1 + Net taxes on production D.29 = Production value of NPIs P.1
Statistics Netherlands, National accounts in Practice

12. Final consumption of NPIs
Production value P.1 - Sales P.11A - Own account capital formation P.12A = Final consumption expenditures of NPIs P.3

13. Available sources NPIs serving members:
Three-yearly statistic on (amateur) sports clubs
Annual overview of church communities
Annual reports from many NPIs (labour unions, etc)

14. Available sources (continued)
Charity NPIs:
Annual report on the spending of many fundraising organisations
Annual reports compiled by the NPIs themselves
Conclusion:
There is some information available, but not complete and not very coherent
