Company accounts, or am I missing something here - what does the sociaux refer to?

TIA!

3.3. Au niveau français
La fusion en France entre xxx SA et xxx SA à la fin de l’année 2003 donne lieu à l’établissement de ***comptes sociaux*** communs pour la nouvelle société xxx. Néanmoins, ces sociétés désormais réunies appartiennent chacune aux deux grands pôles d’activité bien distincts au sein du groupe : Technologies d’une part, Télécommunications (secteur d’activité xxx pour xxx). Chacun de ces pôles au sein de xxx possède une très grande autonomie de gestion et xxx assure le pilotage stratégique, commercial et opérationnel de sa division française à xxx.

corporate financial statements


Explanation:
compte sociaux = corporate financial statement

Le terme compte social se dit particulièrement de l'état financier individuel de la société mère, mais s'emploie aussi pour désigner l'état financier individuel de chaque société du groupe. Les termes rendant compte de cette notion sont le plus souvent employés au pluriel. (Le grand dictionnaire terminologique)
