Answer: B) Only I

Explanation: The first rule regarding reporting requires that the auditor indicate in his report whether the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the generally accepted GAAP accounting principles. The term "accounting principles" used in the first information standard shall be understood to cover not only accounting principles and practices but also the methods of their application at a particular time. There is no comprehensive list of GAAP, since both written and oral principles are accepted in accounting.
