Solution
Answer
The answer is generally accepted accounting principles.
Explanation
Option 1: generally accrued auditing procedures
This option is incorrect. GAAP does not stand for generally accrued auditing procedures. Auditing procedures are different from accounting principles.
Option 2: generally accepted auditing practices
This option is incorrect. GAAP is related to accounting, not auditing. Auditing practices are governed by different standards.
Option 3: generally accepted accounting principles
This option is correct. GAAP stands for generally accepted accounting principles, which are a set of rules and standards used by accountants to prepare, present, and report financial statements.
Option 4: generally accrued accounting principles
This option is incorrect. The term "generally accrued accounting principles" is not a recognized term in the field of accounting. The correct term is "generally accepted accounting principles."
