Answer 1

Neutrality is the characteristic that a new accounting standard should not favor one group of companies over others or achieve a particular social outcome. Because management wants to see the company grow, financial statements created by the corporation are by definition slightly skewed. This implies that they are more likely to indicate improved performance while omitting to disclose negative incidents.

Management must produce entirely objective financial accounts in order to be neutral. For instance, a business that has knowledge of a potential lawsuit must record it in its financial statement notes. The financial statements would become unreliable in the eyes of creditors and outside investors if this information were withheld.
