What model describes the accounting standard setting in the United States?

by Julie

Is the accounting standards setting in the United States public/private approach? Are the standards set by private sectors and enforced through governmental agencies?

I think what you are asking about is GAAP – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. I don’t know who is ultimately in charge of determining those principles, I just remember learning about them in my single accounting class for my MBA.
