Financial accounting (financial accountancy) is a branch of accounting: the process of measuring information such as a company's financial position and operating results in order to provide financial information to the company's external stakeholders, such as shareholders, creditors, and the government. This financial information is provided in the form of financial statements, and a certain standard is needed to provide objective accounting information to the many stakeholders outside the company; Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) serve as that standard and are usually set by government or private bodies in each country.
