Abstract: As an important part of the inspection and supervision system of the Party and the nation, Statistical Inspection and Supervision (SIS for short) is of the basic functions of China’s government statistical system. This paper elaborates the connotation of the function of SIS and discusses how to facilitate the SIS to function efficiently from the perspective of the whole process of official statistics. First, this paper makes a distinction between functional SIS, which is defined in the viewpoint of the official statistics’ servicing functions, and the administrative SIS, which is defined in the viewpoint of the official statistics’ business process; and it is clarified that the functional SIS reflects the ultimate objective of SIS, and the administrative SIS serves to increase the efficiency of the functional SIS. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that independence and coherence of official statistics are two basic principles in assuring the efficiency of SIS, and then expounds the role of organizational mechanism. Finally, targeting the crux of inefficiency of China?s SIS, this paper proposes some policy suggestions, such as appropriately increasing the concentration of the government statistical organization, strengthening the staff training, and enhancing third parities’ participation in the SIS.
