2.2 The combined financial statements as at 31 December 2022 were approved by the Board of Directors, which met on 16 March 2023.

Subsidiaries, joint ventures, and related companies of the combination scope are consolidated within the scope in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 10, IFRS 11, and IAS 28. However, no IFRS standard specifically deals with the methods for aggregating the financial statements of entities forming the Mutual Insurance Division (local mutuals and regional mutuals). The Group has therefore adopted the combination rules defined in Title II of Book III of Regulation No. 2020 ‑ 01 of the French Accounting Standards Authority relating to the specific provisions of the combined financial statements of insurance companies. This choice was made in accordance with the judgement criteria of Article 10 of IAS 8 (on the selection and application of accounting policies in the absence of a standard or an interpretation that is specifically applicable) owing to the characteristics of Groupama’s Mutual Insurance Division as described above. within the Groupama Assurances Mutuelles Division, by capital ties.
