Individual investors' perceptions regarding the meaning of US and UK audit report terminology, 'present fairly on conformity with GAAP' and 'give a true and fair view.' (generally accepted accounting principles)

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine individual investors' perceptions regarding the meaning of US and UK audit report terminology, 'present fairly in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles (FCGAAP)' and 'give a true and fair view (TFV).' Results show that individual investors have confidence in both TFV and FCGAAP and are indifferent to the terminologies as long as the language for the standard unqualified report is pre-determined.
