Accounting Term Clause Samples
An Accounting Term clause defines specific financial or accounting-related terms used throughout a contract. It typically clarifies the meaning of terms such as "fiscal year," "net income," or "generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)," ensuring that all parties interpret these terms consistently.
