Is there a GAAP in small company standards?

Article Abstract:

Recently small companies have complained that since their financial statements are prepared f or the use of owners, company bankers, and the Inland revenue and are not as complex as the financial statements of large public companies, different reporting standards should be developed to apply to large and small businesses. Supporters of this view believe that the ultimate use of financial statements should determine the requirements and content of financial statements. Extant reporting standards are burdensome to small businesses and do not provide small businesses with a framework that generates useful, reliable information.
