Jointly controlled assets involve the joint control, and often the joint ownership, of assets dedicated to the joint venture. Each venture may take a share of the output from the assets and each bears a share of the expenses incurred. [IAS 31.18]
IAS 31 requires that the venture should recognise in its financial statements its share of the joint assets, any liabilities that it has incurred directly and its share of any liabilities incurred jointly with the other ventures, income from the sale or use of its share of the output of the joint venture, its share of expenses incurred by the joint venture and expenses incurred directly in respect of its interest in the joint venture. [IAS 31.21]
