Generally Accepted Accounting Principles → Generally accepted accounting principles –

This is a generic term, applied in the article to a number of specifically named sets of principles in diffferent jurisdictions. Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

• Support. They are "generally accepted accounting principles", according to the Dictionary of Business. Kauffner (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
• Support. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants also uses lower case. 72Dino (talk) 14:35, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Dino. Just a tangential question: I presume the "American GAAPs" should be upcased when expanded, as a specific titled set ... or does the same thing apply? Tony (talk) 02:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE OF TAXONOMY: First premise: The whole Universe is a perfect System. The core of a System is taxonomy principle. Everything in the Universe has an order, has a classification. The taxonomy is the science of classification. Second premise: ACCOUNTING SCIENCE is a system of accounts. Taxonomy principle is the cornerstone of the chart of accounts. Every account has its own nature and role. One group thereof for Assets (equity); another group for Liabilities(debts) and another group of accounts for Earnings. Inside each group lists of control accounts serve the business to keep the transactions in terms of debit and credit book entries duly classified.

Worldwide view

A note added at the top of the page claims "The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (October 2011)."

After reading the article thoroughly I do not agree that the article is biased. I suggest that the issue has been resolved and that this disclaimer should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keenanm67 (talk • contribs) 15:35, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
