Article L233-20 of the French Commercial code

The consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet and income statement and notes to the financial statements: they form an indivisible whole.

To this end, the companies included in the consolidation are required to send the consolidating company the information necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared and published in accordance with the procedures laid down by a regulation of the French Accounting Standards Authority (Autorité des normes comptables). This regulation determines in particular the classification of balance sheet and income statement items and the information to be included in the notes.
