In this article, three questions are considered in relation to the general issue raised by the title of the IARIW‐OECD Conference on the “Future of National Accounts: W(h)ither the SNA”. Firstly, often so much is expected from the System of National Accounts (SNA) that a crucial clarification is needed as to the possible ambitions which can be assigned in the future to it in terms of extension of its coverage. More precisely, my query concerns the integrated “central framework” of the SNA. Secondly, I ask some questions about the revision strategy of the central framework. Thirdly, taking stock of my previous conclusions, I would like to briefly specify the position of what I propose to call the “System of National Economic Accounts” (SNEA), in a broad information system's perspective that distinguishes four spheres, the Economy, Nature, People and Society.
