US GAAP与法定盈余公积:理解会计原则与盈余公积的区别
在US GAAP下,是否需要计提法定盈余公积

根据US GAAP,法定盈余公积并不是一个概念。在美国,公司通常不需要根据GAAP设立法定盈余公积。相反,美国公司可能会设立任意盈余公积,但这不是法定要求,而是公司自行决定的。根据ASC 2020, Retained Earnings, a component of stockholders' equity, a company may choose to allocate a portion of its earnings to a general or special reserve, but this is a matter of corporate policy rather than a legal or accounting requirement under US GAAP.
