In Plain English!

If you've taken a university course in accounting then you're in good shape you're familiar with the layout of financial statements. If you haven't, it's not a great problem, but it might be a little harder to understand the big picture.

SAP versus GAAP

Before doing anything else, you need to know the frameworks that companies use for accounting.

• Both are frameworks of accounting principles/rules for reporting financial transactions and operating results:

==> SAP is prescribed by an insurer’s domiciliary state

==> GAAP is used by public & private companies (insurers & non-insurers)
