GAAP Standards, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a common set of accounting rules and procedures used by companies in the United States. These standards ensure consistency and comparability in financial reporting. They provide a framework for preparing financial statements, promoting transparency and accuracy. Adherence to GAAP is crucial for public companies and for investor confidence.
