How the topic is discussed in NCERT Books
NCERT Class XI has 'Financial Accounting - I' text book, which gives much more detailed explanation of Accounting. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to accountancy and Class XI - Financial Accounting - Chapter 2 discusses basic accounting concepts which is very much required to understand the subject.
Chapter two also discusses three other related items - accounting principles/practices (including the General Accepted Accounting Principles,called GAAP in short), accounting conventions and accounting standards.
Both accounting principles and conventions inform/influence the actual practice of accountancy.
The professional accounting bodies (such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India), draft the accounting principles and standards to keep evolving with changing requirements.
