Abstract
My paper is about the GAAP (General Acceptance of Accounting Principles) which were created by the Accounting Principles Board (APB). The board was created by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in 1959. APB issued 31 Opinions from 1959 to 1973 and those Opinions created GAAP. I think GAAP is interesting due to how many companies think they can get away with financial dealings but get caught. I also think that GAAP is a system that really needs a good looking at and maybe an overhaul. Some people say the GAAP is dead and should be shelved but I’m interested if they will follow the international GAAP or create a new system.
