CEU-Joint Operations (ACCSEM)
CEU-Joint Operations (ACCSEM)
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.
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.
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.

However, when such investments are classified as held for sale in accordance with PFRS 5, they are
presented as current assets.
