The IASB published amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, addressing the accounting for interests in joint ventures and joint operations.
IFRS 11 addresses the accounting for interests in joint ventures and joint operations. The amendments published add new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments specify the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions.
The issue originated from a submission to the IFRS Interpretations Committee. As a result the Interpretations Committee recommended that the IASB should amend IFRS 11.
The objective was to add new guidance to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements on the accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The IASB decided that acquirers of such interests shall apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, and other IFRSs, that do not conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11 and disclose the information that is required in those IFRSs in relation to business combinations.
