GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP)
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are basic accounting principles and guidelines
which provide the framework for more detailed and comprehensive accounting rules, standards and
other industry-specific accounting practices. For example, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) uses these principles as a base to frame their own accounting standards. Thus GAAP
encompasses:
• Basic accounting principles/guidelines
• Accounting Standards usually issued by the premier accounting body of the country
• Industry-specific accounting practices to cover unusual scenarios
In India, financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting standards issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and the law laid down in the
respective applicable acts (for example, Schedule III to Companies Act, 2013 should be
compulsorily followed by all companies).
