Thank you. In fact it is, I believe, statutory in both senses, in that they company must complete consolidated reporting as required by French law--and if that is mentioned in the Bylaws, it must also be in conformity with the very rigid tax law. (I have also consulted the details of the Fisc's accounting requirements.) This also fits with the definition in "Le Robert & Collins du Management", sv statutory (=statutaire)

agree  Heathcliff: Exactly. The "statuts" are the company's bylaws, which set out the reporting requirements, among many other procedures.
