Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) is a method of depreciation that is not considered to be in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for financial reporting by publicly traded companies. GAAP requires companies to use a depreciation method that reflects the economic usefulness of the asset over its useful life, whereas MACRS does not take into account the actual useful life of an asset. Therefore, publicly traded companies must use a GAAP-compliant depreciation method in their financial statements.
