The document compares transparency regulations in France and the US regarding financial relationships between medical companies and healthcare professionals. While the overall aims are similar, there are significant differences in the scope and specifics of required reporting. The French regulations cover a much broader range of medical professionals and companies but do not require reporting of payment amounts for certain types of contracts. Reporting requirements are also more fragmented in France with different deadlines and formats for reporting benefits versus contracts. Compliance has remained challenging for global companies operating in both markets due to the inconsistencies.
