Abstract

[fre] L'information comptable et financière est un souci partagé par les banques et, de façon croissante, par les entreprises, qui encourent des risques en accordant des délais de paiement à leur clientèle. . Malgré certaines limites, l'importance et la richesse de l'information comptable doivent être soulignées. L'information extra-comptable est également fondamentale pour la mise en place de bases de données et la sélection du risque. Les sources de l'information, abondantes et variées, peuvent être externes, publiques ou privées, mais aussi internes, au sein de chaque entreprise utilisatrice. La transparence de l'information est satisfaisante en France, mais elle est en butte aux menaces du secret des affaires et d'une absence de réciprocité internationale. . Les fournisseurs d'informations doivent affronter des contraintes liées aux spécificités de leur marché et à la sophistication croissante des produits. En particulier il est fait de plus en plus appel aux dernières innovations de l'informatique, des télétransmissions et à des systèmes de score qui synthétisent un jugement porté à partir d'éléments statistiques. [eng] Accounting and financial information and corporate credit risk. Banking institutions and, in an increasing way, companies are being concerned about risks incurred by granting terms of payment to their customers. Despite its limits, the importance and variety of accounting information have to be underlined. But off-book information is also essential for implementing data bases and risk assessment.. Abundant and varied information on sources may not only be external, public or private, but also whithin each user company. Information transparency is satisfactory in France, but it is exposed both to the threat of business secrecy and the lack of international reciprocity.. Information suppliers have to face constraints, linked to their market specificities and the increasing sophistication of products. In particular, the last innovations in computer science and telecommunications, as well as scoring systems, which synthesize a judgement based on statistical elements, are being widely used.
