Figure 4. Screenshot of the statement form

Submission of the statement using the form comprised of marking relevant options
(checkbox). The conclusion of the data submission through the SIBI was to be confirmed by
marking the statement in the form: “The data submission process is complete”.
Such form of the statement was intended to facilitate the process of submitting and collecting
information. As it follows from the statistics presented below (Figure 5), 3255 entities used
this opportunity, while 731 entities submitted the statements in a written form (off-line).
However, in many cases, the statements submitted in this way were copies of the last year's
statements, therefore they were not consistent with the current wording of the statement
available in the SIBI.
