1. Financial reporting - accounting concepts.
By law financial statements must give a 'true and fair view'.
This phrase is undefined but depends upon both the application of generally accepted accounting principles and the exercise of judgement.
2. Other reporting - environmental concerns.
Similar principles in other reporting contexts.
For example, the true and fair reporting of greenhouse gas emissions under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
