Answer:

A.True

Explanation:

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) refer to a common set of accounting principles, standards, and procedures issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Public companies in the United States must follow GAAP when their accountants compile their financial statements.

GAAP aims to improve the clarity, consistency, and comparability of the communication of financial information.
