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)

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)
