Abstract

En consacrant le principe de responsabilité limitée aux apports pour les actionnaires de sociétés anonymes, le législateur introduisait dans le code de commerce de 1807 une règle novatrice qui aura des répercussions majeures sur la façon de concevoir la comptabilité dans son rapport avec les créanciers ; elle se traduit par le principe de fixité du capital à partir de 1818. Initialement rudimentaire, le concept devient complexe à mesure que se transforment l’environnement socio-économique et les pratiques comptables. La discussion entre comptables et juristes s’avère féconde : la règle juridique s’inscrit progressivement comme principe comptable avant d’être abandonnée lors de la mise en œuvre des plans comptables français.
