15.3 Jointly controlled operations
15.3.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 15.4 – 15.5

15.4  The operation of some joint ventures involves the use of the assets and other resources of the ventures’ rather than the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity, or a financial structure that is separate from the ventures’ themselves. Each venturer uses its own property, plant and equipment and carries its own inventories. It also incurs its own expenses and liabilities and raises its own finance, which represent its own obligations. The joint venture activities may be carried out by the venturer’s employees alongside the venturer’s similar activities. The joint venture agreement usually provides a means by which the revenue from the sale of the joint product and any expenses incurred in common are shared among the ventures’.

15.5  In respect of its interests in jointly controlled operations, a venturer shall recognise in its financial statements:

(a) the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs; and

(b) the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture.

15.3.2 OmniPro comment
15.3.2.1 Jointly controlled operations – Defined

As per Section 15.4 of FRS 102, jointly controlled operations are effectively operations where equipment etc. is shared but ownership does not pass nor is ownership shared. It is in fact not a legal entity. Each party incurs its own costs and incurs its own liabilities.

15.3.2.1.1 Example of a jointly controlled operation

An example would be where two or more venturers combine their operations, resources or expertise to jointly manufacture market and distribute a product. Each venturer undertakes a different part of the manufacturing process and bears its own costs. Revenue from the sales of the product is shared on the basis of the contractual agreement. There is no separate entity doing this work.

15.3.2.2 Accounting for a jointly controlled operation

As the assets, liabilities, income and expenses will already be reflected in the individual financial statements of each venturer, no consolidation adjustments are required as they are already included. A separate set of books is not required to be kept however it is likely that they will be kept so the performance of the entity can be determined. Therefore as per Section 15.5 of FRS 102 each venturer accounts for the assets it controls, the liabilities they incur and the expenses incurred and share of income that it earns from the sale of goods/services.


15.3.2.2.1 Loans to jointly controlled operations
Example 2: Loans to jointly controlled operation

Company X and Y entered into a jointly controlled operation where the contractual agreement makes it clear that it is owned 50/50 by each party. However in order to get the operation started, Company X had to provide a loan of CU100,000 and Company Y a loan of CU200,000 to the joint operation.

Therefore the total borrowings in the joint operation are CU300,000 and under the agreement costs and revenues are shared 50/50 which includes the liabilities of the joint operation. Therefore Company Y has to recognise an asset for the amount receivable from Company X and Company X has to recognise its liability.

The way in which the amount payable to Company Y in Company X’s financial statements should be accounted for is as follows:

CU CU
Dr Amounts due from Joint Venture 50,000
Cr Amounts due to Company Y 50,000*

*(CU300,000*50%) = CU150,000. Therefore, amount to be shown as a receivable is the amount of the loan given of CU200,000 less CU150,000 being the element that Company Y legally had to make (CU50,000).


15.3.2.2.2 Accounting for a jointly controlled operation – worked example
Example 3: Accounting for a jointly controlled operation

Company A manufacturers a product. It has entered into an agreement with a packaging and marketing Company, Company B to create a jointly controlled operation. A contractual agreement makes it clear that all decisions require unanimous consent. As per the agreement the profits and liabilities are shared 50/50. As part of the agreement Company A will charge the operation on a cost plus 20% basis. Both parties are required to contribute CU20,000 each.

During the year Company A sold CU100,000 of goods to the joint operation which cost Company A CU83,333.

The joint operation made sales of CU70,000 and it cost the joint operation CU60,000. To account for these joint operation sales in Company A’s financial statements, the below is required:
