Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/gaap-compliance

GAAP compliance refers to adhering to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the standardized set of accounting rules, standards, and procedures established primarily by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for financial reporting in the United States. Accountants, controllers, and CFOs ensure their organization's financial statements follow GAAP to maintain consistency, comparability, and transparency for investors, regulators, and auditors. Public companies in the U.S. are legally required to file GAAP-compliant financial statements with the SEC.
