Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
GAAP is a set of accounting principles,
standards, and procedures used
primarily in the United States. They are
established by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) and provide
the foundation for financial reporting in
various industries. GAAP aims to
standardize accounting practices,
making financial statements more
comparable and reliable for investors,
creditors, and other stakeholders.
GAAP requires businesses to adhere to accrual
basis accounting, where transactions are
recorded when they occur, not when cash is
exchanged. It emphasizes the importance of full
disclosure, requiring companies to provide
comprehensive information in financial
statements, footnotes, and supplementary
reports.
By following GAAP, companies can enhance transparency
and credibility, enabling stakeholders to make informed
decisions based on accurate and standardized financial
information. However, it's worth noting that GAAP is
specific to the United States, and other countries may
follow different accounting principles, such as
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
GAAP requires businesses to adhere to accrual
basis accounting, where transactions are
recorded when they occur, not when cash is
exchanged. It emphasizes the importance of full

comprehensive information in financial
statements, footnotes, and supplementary
