Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Partnerships and Joint Ventures

Partnerships and Joint Ventures

Many of our partnership and joint venture agreements provide for capital calls to fund operations, as necessary. Investments in a loss position of $428 million and $312 million were included in other accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and consisted primarily of provision for anticipated losses on two legacy infrastructure projects. Accounts receivable related to work performed for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures included in “Accounts receivable, net” was $178 million and $185 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

The aggregate carrying value of unconsolidated VIEs (classified under both "Investments” and “Other accrued liabilities”) was a net liability of $6 million as of June 30, 2023 and a net asset of $46 million as of December 31, 2022. Some of our VIEs have debt; however, such debt is typically non-recourse in nature. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding necessary to satisfy the contractual obligations of the VIE. Future funding commitments as of June 30, 2023 for the unconsolidated VIEs were $57 million.

We are required to consolidate certain VIEs. Assets and liabilities associated with the operations of our consolidated VIEs are presented on the balance sheet. The assets of a VIE are restricted for use only for the particular VIE and are not available for our general operations. We have agreements with certain VIEs to provide financial or performance assurances to clients, as discussed elsewhere.
