GAAP stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. GAAP provides accounting uniformity by which businesses report financial performance. Example: When a company performs an expensive restructuring or an asset writedown that impacts profits, that much be reported under GAAP earnings. In addition, the company will also issue an non-GAAP or adjusted or pro forma earnings that exclude such one-time non-recurring items.
