    Can you please check if my understanding is correct?

    1. Control:
    – need to have both power and variable return
    # if achieve control, means it is a subsidiary, and need to consolidate the subsidiary.

    2. Joint control:
    – when control not achieved,
    – ‘contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which only exist when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
    # if achieve joint control, means it is a joint venture, account using IAS 28

    3. Significant influence:
    – test when both control and joint control are absence
    – power to participate in financial and operating decisions
    # if significant influence, means it is an associate, account using IAS 28

    4. Financial asset
    – test when control, joint control, and significant influence are not existed

    Much appreciated.

    Almost there. But –

    If there is joint control it is a JOINT ARRANGEMENT which may be EITHER a joint operation OR a JOINT VENTURE.

    Very pleased that you thought this through.

    Not everyone sits the same exam – so no predictions!
