Abstract: This article shows the relationship between the strategy of external growth carried out from 1921 to 1939 by the French company Alais, Froges et Camargue and the introduction of new management tools intended to control subsidiaries. The establishment of financial reporting in 1921 and the development in 1927 of a financial statement whose conceptual foundations were based on group accounting, were the solutions implemented by the directors to manage the Group's increasing complexity and impenetrability.
