In commercial companies that meet one of the criteria defined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat and drawn from the number of employees or turnover, possibly taking into account the nature of the business, the board of directors, the management board or the managers are required to draw up a statement of realisable and available assets, excluding going concern values, and current liabilities, a provisional income statement, a cash flow statement at the same time as the annual balance sheet and a provisional financing plan.
The above-mentioned decree of the Conseil d’Etat specifies the frequency, deadlines and procedures for drawing up these documents.
For the purposes of determining the number of employees, those of companies, whatever their form, in which it directly or indirectly holds more than half of the capital are treated in the same way as the company’s employees.
