Abstract: In a context of development of international capital markets, it seems to be interesting to question the adaptation of French groups to Anglo-American practices. The objective of the present paper is to illustrate the evolution towards the Anglo-American standards through the study of one aspect of the accounting methods: the financial statements presentation. Based on a sample of large industrial groups over a ten-year period, our survey confirms the trend.

Keywords: financial statements presentation; international accounting standards; IASC; international harmonisation
