GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting Principle: is a framework of accounting standards, rules and procedures defined by the professional accounting industry, which has been adopted by nearly all publicly traded U.S. companies.

IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standard: is a set of accounting standards developed by an independent, not-for-profit organization called the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) stating how particular types of transactions and other events should be reported in financial statements.
