French term or phrase: situation comptable

Below the heading “INFORMATION DES ASSOCIES” from Articles of Association for a company:

Tout associé peut demander que lui soent communiqués, chaque trimestre,
une situation comptable, les états financiers prévisionnels et an rapport d’activité.

I realize this term is already in the glossaries, but they the other entries appear to pertain to other contexts.

I'm considering simply "an accounting statement"
Could "statement of financial position" maybe work here?
