French term or phrase: périmètre
Los sociétés entrant dans le périmètre en cours d'année sont consolidées à partir de leur date d'acquisition si elles disposent d'une situation à cette date, ou à défaut à partir de leur dernière situation connue.
This refers to a group of companies. "Périmètre" refers to the area of influence of the group, but not necessarily fully owned companies. I am groping for the best way to say this in English.

Explanation:
"Companies first included in the consolidation during the year..."

"Périmètre de consolidation" is often translated as "scope of consolidation" ie the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.

Here you could use "consolidation" to show that you mean group in the accounting sense, as I think a company could technically be in the group from an organisational point of view but not included in the consolidation (can't think why this might happen though).

Or to get round the problem of "consolidées" later in the sentence you could say:
Companies newly consolidated during the year are included as of...

Since I posted the question, I found a bilingual balance sheet on the Web, which gave "consolidated scope" so "scope of consolidation" would be an equivalent of this.
Thanks.

group structure seems to have a financial context for the most part and refers to large entities or a number of entities working together within the parameters of a general structure.

Perimeter /affiliates


Explanation:
seems- it refers to affiliates or affiliated companies, perhaps perimeter can be used since it reffers to outer boundary , or if the main company were to be taken as core/center and affiliates in a circular area scattered around center-company( or holding )
Perhaps this may preserve "literal art " in originial text.
