A.
Be applied on a basis consistent with those followed in the prior year.

Be approved by the Auditing Standards Board or the appropriate industry subcommittee.
C.
Reflect transactions in a manner that presents the financial statements within a range of acceptable limits.
D.

Suggested Answer:C🗳️
Choice "C" is correct. Financial statements are presented fairly in conformity with GAAP when there are no material misstatements included therein. The fact that there may occasionally be immaterial misstatements means that the financial statements are correct "within a range of acceptable limits." Choice "A" is incorrect. Accounting principles may change from year to year. As long as such changes are properly accounted for, the financial statements are still in conformity with GAAP. Choice "B" is incorrect. The AICPA and the FASB determine GAAP, not the Auditing Standards Board. Choice "D" is incorrect. There is no requirement that an entity's financial statements be prepared in accordance with prevalent industry practices in order to be in conformity with GAAP
