Cad é cuspóir na Suirbhéanna Rialaithe?
Tugann an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí faoi Shuirbhéanna Rialaithe chun an leibhéal riosca a bhaineann le scéimeanna áirithe a aithint. Leagann na suirbhéanna béim ar an mbaol a bhaineann le neamhchomhlíonadh rialacha na scéimeanna a bhfuil suirbhé á dhéanamh orthu ag pointe áirithe ama. Ligeann torthaí an tsuirbhé don Roinn díriú ar an scéim, agus ar a réimsí riosca ar leith, le haghaidh bearta rialaithe níos láidre, nuair is gá, chun an leibhéal riosca sa todhchaí a íoslaghdú.
Conas a dhéantar iad a stiúradh?
I ngach suirbhé, roghnaítear sampla randamach de chásanna atá á n-íoc i seachtain ar leith. Scrúdaíonn Aonad Staidrimh na roinne an sampla lena chinntiú go léirítear na héilimh atá á n-íoc ar an scéim ann. Cuirtear na cásanna sin ar aghaidh ansin chuig cigirí leasa shóisialaigh le haghaidh imscrúdú iomlán maidir le cibé an gcomhlíonann na héilitheoirí atá i gceist na coinníollacha cáilitheacha a bhaineann le gach scéim fós. Cuirtear cásanna ar ais ansin chuig oifigigh bhreithiúnachta sa roinn le cinneadh a dhéanamh. Bunaithe ar thorthaí na n-imscrúduithe seo, ríomhtar an glanchaillteanas don Rialtas mar gheall ar chalaois/earráid.
Tá doiciméad modheolaíochta mionsonraithe ar na suirbhéanna ar fáil anseo.
Cad is calaois agus earráid ann?
Tarlaíonn calaois nó calaois amhrasta go príomha nuair a fheictear don oifigeach breithiúnachta gur thug an custaiméir faisnéis bhréagach nó mhíthreorach go feasach nó gur fholaigh sé faisnéis ábhartha d'aon ghnó. Earráid neamhbheartaithe custaiméirí, tríú páirtí nó roinne go príomha is cúis le cásanna earráide.
Conas a chuirtear torthaí na suirbhéanna i láthair?
Cuirtear na torthaí i láthair i dtéarmaí an ghlanráta calaoise agus earráide. Tagraíonn an glanráta don staid tar éis laghduithe sa ráta seachtainiúil, méaduithe ar an ráta seachtainiúil, foirceannadh íocaíochtaí, aistrithe go híocaíochtaí eile agus an staid tar éis achomharc a dhéanamh ar chásanna ar bith a cuireadh isteach orthu a chur san áireamh.

Rudaí tábhachtacha le tabhairt faoi deara
Tugann Suirbhéanna Rialaithe léargas ar an mbaol nach gcomhlíonfadh custaiméirí rialacha na scéimeanna a bhfuil suirbhé á dhéanamh orthu.
Cuireann an glanráta, mar a léirítear thuas é, san áireamh an éifeacht airgeadais a bheadh ag custaiméirí a fhilleann ar an scéim tar éis achomharc a dhéanamh nó tar éis dóibh aistriú go dtí íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh eile.
Is é an t-aon slí ar féidir ró-íocaíochtaí a dhéanann an roinn trí éileamh calaoiseach a mheas go hiontaofa ná trí ró-íocaíochtaí calaoise a ardaíodh.
