The third sub notion of faithful representation, neutrality, is defined as “the absence of bias intended to attain a predetermined result or to induce a particular behaviour. Neutral information does not colour the image it communicates to influence behaviour in a particular direction” (IASB, 2008: 37). As Jonas and Blanchet (2000: 362) state: “neutrality is about objectivity and balance”. Neutrality refers to the intent of the preparer; the preparer should strive for an objective presentation of events rather than focusing solely on the positive events that occur without mentioning negative events [F3].
