8 About Fiscal Requirements

In France, businesses are required to use a legal, or statutory, chart of accounts. The French statutory chart of accounts uses a decimal-based numbering system, with ten account classes. In addition, the French accounting system responds to legal obligations that must be fulfilled at each year's end and throughout the years a company is in business. Often, this local reporting system is different from the reporting system that many organizations use to manage business on a day-to-day basis.
