    The principle of Utmost Good Faith or "uberrimae fidei" is a fundamental principle in insurance contracts, requiring both parties to act honestly and disclose all relevant information. While it is not specifically a principle of GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), it is a principle that aligns with the general concept of transparency and honesty in financial reporting.
