# national generally accepted accounting principles — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'National Generally Accepted Accounting Principles' (GAAP) isn’t just knowing the rules – it's *applying* them daily to accurately reflect a company’s financial position. This means consistently classifying transactions correctly (revenue recognition, expense matching), preparing financial statements that comply with local standards (like US GAAP or IFRS as adopted locally), and ensuring disclosures meet regulatory requirements. Typical tasks include journal entry preparation, account reconciliation, assisting with audits, and analyzing financial data *through the lens* of these principles. You'll be using tools like accounting software (QuickBooks, SAP, Oracle) which often have built-in GAAP compliance checks, but those are aids – not replacements for your understanding.
