Statement of Standard Accounting Practice

Statement of Standard Accounting Practice (SSAP) Any of the accounting standards prepared by the Accounting Standards Board and issued by the six members of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies. The first SSAP was issued in 1971 and in total 25 SSAPs were issued. Before a SSAP was issued a discussion document known as an exposure draft was circulated for comment. The SSAPs issued are given in the box on p.
