What is Joint venture?

A joint arrangement in which the parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Joint control exists when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. If the parties have direct rights to the assets and direct obligations for the liabilities, the arrangement is classified as a "joint operation".
