Sure it is. Some attribute the term GAAP (accreditation) to the eminent Dr. John Bear, who illuminated the concept for our use. Its origins are believed to have been during an AACRAO presentation many moons ago. Two reference pages here. What About International Accreditation? - Baker's Guide to Christian Online Learning

The second site is a degree.net page you can reach with a link from the Baker's Guide page. Basically, GAAP are defined this way:

"To offer recognized accreditation under GAAP, and accrediting agency must meet at least one of the following four criteria: Recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation in Washington, DC Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education Recognized by (or more commonly, a part of) their relevant national education agency Schools they accredit are routinely listed in one or more of the following publications: the International Handbook of Universities (a UNESCO publication), the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook, the World Education Series, published by PIER, or the Countries Series, published by NOOSR in Australia."

The term GAAP is real. Is GAAP always real accreditation? You decide.

Hmm, except that not all accreditors recognized by CHEA or the U.S. Department of Education are recognized worldwide. So that's a dangerous definition to use.
