Abstract

In France as in many legislations, company managers run the risk of certain sanctions under criminal law. In France, some offences concern the misappropriation of company property for the personal benefit of managers: for instance, the offences of misuse of company property, or misuse of credit, where the magistrate must determine whether or not the actions giving rise to the prosecution were undertaken in the interests of the company. It is difficult to prove that property has been used contrary to the company's interest when the case involves a group of companies, particularly when financial assistance has been provided by one group company to another.Another group of offences concerns control over companies. There are many cases of offences involving information reported to partners or managers. Failures to draw up certain required documents, and incorrect allocations of entries, confer on company accounts a role in exposing offences.
