  GAAP for those that don't know simply means "Generally agreed
  Accounting principals" 
Are you sure you're an accountant? GAAP = Generally ACCEPTED Accounting PRINCIPLES

Yes. The term is not legislatively defined, it is a term used in industry, over the years I've heard it defined both ways as "agreed" and "accepted", but I agree that accepted seems more common now. Talks to the point of why use of undefined acronyms can lead to confusion.
