5 Change in accounting policies

Accounting for investments in jointly controlled entities

Gindalbie Metals Limited has early adopted AASB 11 Joint Arrangements in accounting for investments in jointly controlled entities. AASB 11 introduces a new joint control model and removes the option to proportionally consolidate, which was the accounting policy previously adopted by the company. The change in the accounting policy was made to provide more relevant information to users and was done in accordance with AASB 11 transitional provisions.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangements. A joint venturer recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method.
This change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively from 1 July 2011, and has had an impact on the statement of cash flow as follows :-
