| | U.S. generally accepted accounting principles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The GAAP is not written in law, although the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that it be followed in financial reporting by publicly traded companies. | | | Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are the accounting rules used to prepare financial statements for publicly traded companies and many private companies in the United States. | | | In the United States, as well as in other countries practicing under the English common law system, the government does not set accounting standards, in the belief that the private sector has better knowledge and resources. |

| | US GAAP is run under the auspices of the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) which is an independent body recognized as the authority in such matters by both the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission, the enforcer for the public sector) and the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the private sector). | | | GAAP net income per share was $0.03 for the third quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to a net loss per share of $0.09 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004. | | | Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are concerned with the measurement of economic activity, the time when such measurements are made and recorded, the disclosures surrounding these activities, and the preparation and presentation of summarized economic information in the form of financial statements. |

| | A public sector reporting entity required to prepare financial statements in accordance with regulatory, legislative or contractual requirements can describe the basis of accounting as in accordance with GAAP only when those requirements are within the range of acceptable choices allowed by the proposed Section. | | | In October 2002, PSAB decided that it would be beneficial for its GAAP Project to learn from the knowledge and experience gained by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in conducting their similar GAAP Project (which resulted in the issuance of CICA Handbook – Accounting Section 1100, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). | | | Given the level of acceptance of the PSA Handbook, it was considered appropriate to formally define GAAP for the public sector and provide supporting guidance. |

| | Lenders--certainly as important a constituent for private companies as institutional investors are for public companies-need the financial information to make lending decisions, but with more small-business borrowers forgoing audited financial statements because of the hassle and expense, and many more filing with multiple exceptions, they're finding themselves in a difficult spot. | | | And because of the increasing complexity of accounting regulations, small businesses are taking longer to file their year-end audits, which can affect their loan structures and the amount banks are willing to lend them. | | | The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that govern public companies, they argue, are both irrelevant to their businesses and too onerous to maintain. |
