Abstract: Standard System of national accounting (SNA) was desighed and developed for the purpose of mesurement and comparable presentati- on of economic state and activity of different countries and on different levels. It's recognized that despite great importance of the very existance and wordwide acceptance of such a tool it has some draw- backs, in particular: incomplete presentation of the overall real range of econo- mic activities (avoidance of household or underground activities); comparatively big time lags between real economic events and their information presentations when considering sustainable development concept and problems ecological and social components are to be taken into account. In this case information of standard SNA is quite insufficient what is principal drawback. There is no proper presentation of ecological and social subsystems of integrated socio-ecologic-economic system.
