Organizations are required to present their accounting data under widely established US generally accepted accounting principles.

  3. Important US GAAP principles If a business desires to implement US GAAP, then it must be aware of these principles: 1. The Consistency Principle Accounting staff carefully considers disclosing any variances while applying the same criteria across each stage of the reporting operation and also from one reporting loop to the following. 2. The Permanence of Techniques Principle To make it simpler to compare one financial information to the other, accountants must apply identical economic statement techniques throughout all economic reports.

  4. 3. The Regularity Principle The financial and business employees follow GAAP regulations as routine procedures. 4. The Sincerity Principle Accountants must maintain objectivity and make 100% accurate entries. 5. The Continuity Principle According to GAAP, accountants assume that the company they are calculating accounting records for will continue to operate for the coming period.

  5. 6. The Non-compensation Principle Without receiving any payment, accountants offer full transparency of both favourable and unfavourable variables. In other words, their compensation is not determined by how accurate or unreliable the reporting is. 7. The Periodicity Principle Instead of extending periods or statistics to perfectly match a financial statement, GAAP regulation mandates that accountants provide all economic information in the income statement they represent. 8. The Prudential Principle Financial information is based on factual information and isn't affected by assumptions.

  6. 9. The Ultimate Good Faith Principle This GAAP concept calls for honesty and integrity from accountants, company owners, and every other entity involved with financial reporting. 10.
