GAAP Stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Accounting Standardards are issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) which is the largest
accounting body in the country. Now the Accounting
Standards are 32.Accounting Standards are prepared by
expert persons.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
means just like Accounting Concept which means every person
can accept this principles.

GAAP is a general term used to describe AS of a particular country like AS is Indian GAAP....
US has no AS so they say theirs as US GAAP & So also UK fellos as UK GAAP...
For Australia they follow IFRS(A-IFRS) u can call its as Australian GAAP...
the name is as apt as its expansion of the word...
GENERALLY Accepted Accounting Principls....(or Policies or Procedures)
