PFRS 11 JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
• Joint arrangement – an arrangement in which two or more parties have joint control.
• Joint control – the contractually agreed upon sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists
only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties
sharing control.
• Contract – includes the agreed sharing of control
• Unanimous consent – it prevents one party from acting unilaterally
• Relevant activities – activities that significantly affects the returns of the entity or arrangement
CHARACTERISTICS OF JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
• Despite the diverse forms and structures, all joint arrangements have two characteristics in
common:
• The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement
• The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement.
CHARACTERISTICS OF JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
• Contractual arrangement
• Usually written (though not necessarily) i.e. formal contract, articles, by-laws
• Generally deals with:
• The purpose, activity and duration of the joint arrangement
• The appointment of the BOD or its equivalent
• The decision-making process
• The capital or other contributions required
• The sharing by the parties of the output, income, expenses or results of the joint arrangement
CHARACTERISTICS OF JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
• The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the
arrangement.
• Unanimous consent on relevant activities (no single party is in position to control unilaterally the
joint arrangement)
KEY ASPECTS OF JOINT CONTROL
• Contractually agreed
• The existence of contractual agreement distinguishes a joint arrangement from an investment in associate. If there is no
contractual agreement, then a joint arrangement does not exist.
• Unanimous consent
• Parties to an arrangement have collective control over the arrangement, but no single party has control. Any party can
prevent any other parties from making unilateral decisions about the relevant activities without its consent.
ASSESSING JOINT CONTROL / JOINT
ARRANGEMENT
Does the contractual arrangement give all the
parties (or a group of parties) control of the joint
arrangement collectively?
Do the decisions about the relevant activities Outside the scope of PFRS
require the unanimous consent of all the parties that 11(not a joint arrangement)
collectively control the arrangement?
JOINT ARRANGEMENT
JOINT CONTROL AS COMPARED
• Joint control – the contractually agreed upon sharing of control of an arrangement, which
exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the
parties sharing control.
• Significant influence – power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
an investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
• Control – power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee so as to obtain
benefits from it.
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS
Nature of relationship with Type of investment Interest in voting rights of Standard Accounting
investee investee
Regular investor FVPL or FVOCI asset Less than 20% PFRS 9 Fair value
• Case 1
• A, B and C has an arrangement whereby A has 50% voting rights, B has 30% and C has 20%.
The parties agreed that at least 75% of the voting rights are required to make decisions about
the relevant activities of the arrangement.
Analysis: A and B have joint control over the arrangement, because the decisions cannot be
made without both A and B agreeing.
EXAMPLES
• Case 2
• A, B and C has an arrangement whereby A has 50% voting rights, B has 25% and C has 25%.
The parties agreed that at least 75% of the voting rights are required to make decisions about
the relevant activities of the arrangement.
Analysis: A, B and C collectively control the arrangement, because to reach the 75% vote either
A and B or A and C should agree. But to be joint arrangement, the parties would need to
specify which combination the parties is required to agree unanimously on decisions about the
relevant activities of the arrangement.
EXAMPLES
• Case 3
• A and B each has 35% of the voting rights of an arrangement; the remaining 30% is widely
spread. Decisions about relevant activities require a majority of the voting rights.
Analysis: A and B have joint control only if the contractual arrangement specifies that decisions
require both A and B agreeing. This is because a majority vote can be reached either in the
combination of A and other parties or B and other parties.
TYPES OF JOINT ARRANGEMENT
• Joint operation – 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.
• Parties: Joint operators
• Separate vehicle: with or without
• Set-up: alike with partnership (unlimited liability)
• Joint venture – a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the
arrangement.
• Parties: Joint venturers
• Separate vehicle: with
• Set-up: alike with Corporation (limited liability)
*Party to a joint arrangement – an entity that participates in a joint arrangement regardless of whether that entity has a joint control of the
arrangement.
*Separate vehicle – a separately identifiable financial structure, including separate legal entities or entities recognized by statute, regardless of
whether those entities have a legal personality.

JOINTLY OPERATIONS
• A 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.
• According to PFRS 11, if there is no contractual arrangement to establish the joint
control, the investments are not deemed to be joint ventures.
JOINT VENTURE
• A joint venturer recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and shall account
for that investment using the equity method in accordance with PAS 28 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures unless the entity is exempted from applying the equity method
as specified in that standard.
• A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint venture accounts for its
interest in the arrangement in accordance with PFRS 9 Financial Instruments unless it has
significant influence over the joint venture, in which case it accounts for it in accordance with
PAS 28.
JOINT VENTURE
• Potential Benefits
• Joint ventures can save you money when businesses share expenses.
• Joint ventures can save you time when businesses share the workload.
• Your business could offer new products and services by doing joint ventures. Combining your
business with another will make you stronger. This is a good way to beat your competition.
• Joint ventures can make your sales offer more appealing to customers by offering more
products or services.
• Doing joint ventures with well-known businesses can give your business more credibility.
Joint ventures can always lead to profitable partnerships
ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT VENTURE
• PFRS 11 prescribes that joint venturer shall recognize its interest in a joint venture as an
investment in joint venture and shall account for that investment using the equity method
in accordance with PAS 28, Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures, unless the entity
is exempted from applying the equity method as specified in that standard (i.e. mutual
funds, unit trusts)
• The use of equity method will result in recognizing only a single item investment in joint
venture in the Statement of Financial position, and a single line item for the proportionate
share of net income and changes in equity in the Statement of Comprehensive income
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
• However, when such investments are classified as held for sale in accordance with PFRS 5
(Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued operations), they are presented as current
assets.
ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT VENTURE
• Share in the adjusted net income / net loss (after intercompany transactions)
ACCOUNTING FOR JOINT VENTURE
• Downstream sale
• Venturer (seller) --------> Joint venture (buyer)
• Upstream sale
• Joint venture (seller) ----------> Venturer (buyer)
• Core Concept: The share in profit or loss of the joint venture is recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’
interests in the joint venture.
• Downstream – eliminate entire unrealized profit/loss
• Upstream – eliminate investor’s share in the unrealized profit/loss
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE VENTURER AND
THE JOINT VENTURE
• Impairment on assets in downstream and upstream sales
• Recognized in full by the joint venture.
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE VENTURER AND
THE JOINT VENTURE
Basic Formula:
Net income x % of ownership
Less: Unrealized profit on upstream sale x % of ownership
Add: Realized profit on upstream sale x % of ownership
Less: Unrealized profit on downstream sale
Add: Realized profit on downstream sale
Share in net income
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE VENTURER AND
THE JOINT VENTURE
• Intercompany transactions
JOINT VENTURE’S LOSSES
• When the equity method is being used by the joint venturers, share of losses of the joint venture
equals or exceeds its interest in joint venture, the joint venturer should discontinue including its
share of further losses. The investment is reported at zero value. The interest in the joint venture
is normally the carrying amount of the investment, but it also includes any other long-term
interest (i.e preference shares or long-term notes receivables or loans.)
• After the joint venturer’s interest is equal to zero, additional losses should only be recognized
where joint venture has incurred or made payments on behalf of the joint venturer (i.e.
guaranteed amounts owed to third parties by the joint venture)
• Should the joint venture return to net income, the joint venturer may resume recognizing its
share in net income only after they equal the share of losses not recognized.
GOODWILL AND IMPAIRMENT TESTING
• Goodwill may arise if an investor purchases interest in a joint venture from other
investors, and it pays premium over its share of the net assets of the joint venture.
• Goodwill on acquisition of a joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the
investment, and is not tested separately.
• The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment by comparing its
recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell or value in use, whichever is higher) and
its carrying amount.

JOINT VENTURE’S LOSSES
• There are two general methods of accounting for the joint venture, these are
(1) Separate set of books is maintained for the joint venture and
(2) No separate set of books is maintained for the joint venture.
JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES
• A jointly controlled entity maintains its own accounting records and prepares and presents
financial statements like any other enterprises in conformity with government
requirements and Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
• Each venturer normally would contribute assets and other resources to the jointly
controlled entity. These assets and resources included in the accounting records of the
venturer and recognized as an investment in the jointly controlled entity.
SEPARATE SET OF BOOKS FOR JOINTLY
CONTROLLED ENTITY
• All joint venture transactions are recorded in the joint venture books maintained by the
manager/venturer. The books will carry the usual accounts for assets, liabilities, capital,
revenues and expenses.
• Books of the Venturers
-each venturer maintains an investment account “Investment in Joint Venture” in
its own books for its share of the joint venture capital.
BOOKS OF THE VENTURERS
Investment in Venture
Initial and additional investment Withdrawals
Share in the profits Share of losses
DISCLOSURES ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PARTIES TO A JOINT ARRANGEMENT
• Disclosure
• There are no disclosures specified in IFRS 11. Instead, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other
Entities outlines the disclosures required.
