Lady Godiva Accounting Principles
A theoretical system of
accounting that would disclose information not required to be disclosed under the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). LGAP include all off-balance sheet items, among other things. They were devised in the wake of the Enron scandal, and while the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 improved accounting
transparency in the United States, the LGAP remain largely theoretical.
