LECTURE NOTES
BASIC CONCEPTS
JOINT ARRANGEMENTS - an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint
control.
JOINT CONTROL - the contractually agreed sharing of control of an
arrangement which exists only when decisions about the
relevant activities require UNANIMOUS CONSENT of the
parties sharing control.
NOTES:
(1) In contrast with significant influence and control, joint control is obtained by an investor through
contractual agreement with fellow investors. No sole joint operator or venture obtains leverage
over another joint operator or joint venture in respect of voting rights over financial and
operating decisions.
(2) Joint control exists when all of the parties to the contractual arrangement act collectively (or
together) in directing the activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement.
TYPES OF JOINT ARRANGEMENT
The following are the types of joint arrangements under PFRS 11:
(a) JOINT OPERATION – is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
Those parties are called JOINT OPERATORS.
(b) JOINT VENTURE - is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called JOINT
VENTURERS.
An entity applies judgment when determining the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved. Such
judgment shall be made as follows:
(1) Determine the type of joint arrangement by considering the entity’s rights and obligations arising from
the arrangement.
(2) Assess the rights and obligations by considering the following:
(a) Structure and legal form of the arrangement,
NOTE: A joint arrangement that is NOT structured through a SEPARATE VEHICLE is a JOINT
OPERATION. A joint arrangement in which assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement are
held in a SEPARATE VEHICLE can EITHER be JOINT VENTURE or JOINT OPERATION. A separate
vehicle is a separately identifiable financial structure, including separate legal entities or entities
recognized by statute, regardless of whether those entities have a legal personality.
(b) Terms of the contractual agreement,
(c) Other facts and circumstances

ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT OPERATION (NO SEPARATE RECORDS ARE MAINTAINED)
No separate records are maintained for a joint operation usually if it is short-lived. In order to assess the
performance of the joint operation, management accounts are prepared.
Management accounts are accounts used for internal reporting purposes only. These are closed or
eliminated when general purpose financial statements are prepared. A management account “JOINT
OPERATION” is used to assess the financial performance of the entity. The following is the T-account of the
joint operation account.

Joint Operation
Merchandise Contributions xx Merchandise Withdrawals xx
Purchase returns, discounts and
Purchases and Freight-in xx allowances xx
Sales returns, discounts and
allowances xx Sales and other income items xx
Expenses xx Unsold merchandise xx
Net loss xx Net income xx
NOTE: The T-account shown above is similar to an income summary account.
Each joint operator shall set-up a joint operation account and personal accounts (i.e., receivable or payable)
of other joint operators in his books.
Any cash received or paid by the manager of a joint operation is recorded by the manager in cash account
which may be described as “joint operation – cash (JO-Cash)” account.
ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT OPERATION (SEPARATE RECORDS ARE MAINTAINED)
Joint operators may want to set-up separate records for the joint operation. The separate records will be
kept by one of the joint operators – normally the appointed manager.
Each joint operator may set-up an “Interest in Joint Operation” account which will be used by each joint
operator in recording his own investments withdrawals and share in profits or losses of the joint operation.

Interest in Joint Operation

Contributions and Investments xx Sales and other income received xx
Cost and expenses paid for the Withdrawals of contributions or
joint operation xx investments xx
Share in the profit of joint Share in loss of the joint
operation xx operation xx
NOTE: A DEBIT BALANCE in the T-account means cash RECEIPT (receivable) while a CREDIT BALANCE means
cash PAYMENT (payable) on cash settlement of the joint operation.
ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT VENTURES
An entity shall apply PFRS 11 first to determine the type of arrangement in which it is involved. If the entity
determines that it has an interest in a joint venture, the entity shall recognize its interest as an investment
and account for it using EQUITY METHOD in accordance with PAS 28.
Under equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post
acquisition change in the investor’s share of net assets of the investee.
Investment in Associate
xx Share in Dividends xx
Investment Income (P/L)* xx Share in Investee’s OCL (OCL) xx
Share in Investee’s OCI (OCI) xx Impairment Loss (P/L) xx

End. Balance xx
NOTE: Investment income (share in profit or loss) is recognized only to the extent of unrelated investor’s
interests in the joint venture. Thus if a transaction is:
(a) Downstream (from venturer to joint venture) – eliminate entire unrealized profit
(b) Upstream (from joint venture to venture) – eliminate investor’s share in unrealized profit.
IFRS for SMEs provide three (3) methods of accounting for its interest in the joint venture: (a) the cost
model, (b) the fair value model, and (c) the equity model.
