When a joint venture was structured through an entity that was jointly controlled, however, the venturer was given
the choice of accounting for the venture using either proportionate consolidation or the equity method. This gave rise to
the IASB’s second concern: comparability of financial statements. By giving venturers the choice of proportionate consolidation or equity when accounting for jointly controlled entities, arrangements that gave parties similar rights and obligations could potentially be accounted for differently, whereas arrangements that gave parties different rights and obligations could be accounted for in the same manner. Moreover, IAS 31 compounded the comparability problem, because once the choice of proportionate consolidation or the equity method was made, it required the same accounting for all interests in jointly controlled entities.
