ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY (a) Brookfield Business Corporation Brookfield Business Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “company”) is an owner and operator of services and industrials operations on a global basis (the “businesses”). The company was formed as a corporation established under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 21, 2021 and is a subsidiary of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE: BBU; TSX: BBU.UN) (the “partnership”, or collectively with its subsidiaries, excluding the company, “Brookfield Business Partners”). Brookfield Business Partners, the company and respective subsidiaries are referred to collectively as the “group”. Brookfield Corporation, formerly Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Corporation” or together with its controlled subsidiaries, excluding the group, “Brookfield”), is the ultimate parent of the company and the group. Brookfield Business Partners holds all the issued and outstanding class B shares and class C shares of the company as at June 30, 2024. The registered head office of the company is 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10281, United States. The class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (each, an “exchangeable share”) of the company are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “BBUC”. The exchangeable shares are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the non-voting limited partnership units (“LP Units”) of the partnership. Given the economic equivalence, the market price of the exchangeable shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of the LP Units and the combined business performance of the company and Brookfield Business Partners as a whole. |

Corporate information and statement of IFRS compliance [abstract] | |
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (a) Statement of compliance The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on August 7, 2024. (b) Basis of presentation These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s December 31, 2023 audited financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the December 31, 2023 audited financial statements, unless otherwise noted. The results reported in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. (i) Global minimum top-up tax The company operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. The company has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax and will account for it as a current tax when it is incurred. There is no material current tax impact for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial position of the company. (c) Consolidation These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of the company’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. (d) Earnings per Share The company’s basic and diluted earnings per share have not been presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As outlined in Note 5, exchangeable shares and class B shares are classified as financial liabilities, while class C shares are classified as financial liabilities but presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. As each share classification represents a financial liability, they do not constitute ordinary shares. Refer to the aforementioned note for further details. (e) Critical accounting judgements and measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. (f) New accounting policies adopted The company has applied certain new and revised standards issued by the IASB that are effective for the period beginning on or after January 1, 2024. (i) Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements (“IAS 1”) The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. (g) Future changes in accounting policies There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with expected material impacts on the company. |

Cash flow hedges The company uses foreign exchange contracts and option contracts to hedge highly probable future transactions and interest rate contracts to hedge the cash flows on its floating rate borrowings. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024, a pre-tax net gain of $31 million and $81 million ( June 30, 2023 : pre-tax net gain of $89 million and $38 million, respectively ) was recorded in other comprehensive income for the effective portion of cash flow hedges.

EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, CLASS B SHARES AND CLASS C SHARES | EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, CLASS B SHARES AND CLASS C SHARES The exchangeable shares and the class B shares are classified as liabilities due to their exchangeable and cash redemption features. Upon issuance, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares were recognized at their fair values. Subsequent to initial recognition, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares are recognized at amortized cost and remeasured to reflect changes in the contractual cash flows associated with the shares. These contractual cash flows are based on the price of one LP Unit. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 3 exchangeable shares were exchanged into LP Units ( June 30, 2023: 622). As at June 30, 2024, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares were remeasured to reflect the closing price of one LP Unit, which was valued at $18.85 per unit. Remeasurement gains or losses associated with the exchangeable shares and class B shares are recorded in remeasurement of exchangeable and class B shares in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $9 million of dividends (June 30, 2023: $9 million of dividends) were declared on the outstanding exchangeable shares of the company and included in interest income (expense), net in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. The following table provides a continuity schedule of outstanding exchangeable shares, and the class B shares, along with the carrying value of the corresponding liability and remeasurement gains and losses: (US$ MILLIONS, except as noted) Exchangeable shares outstanding (Shares) Class B shares outstanding (Shares) Exchangeable shares and class B shares Balance as at January 1, 2024 72,954,450 1 $ 1,501 Shares exchanged to LP Units (3) — — Remeasurement (gains) losses — — (126) Balance as at June 30, 2024 72,954,447 1 $ 1,375 Similar to the exchangeable shares and class B shares, the class C shares are classified as liabilities due to their cash redemption feature. However, the class C shares, the most subordinated class of all the company’s classes of common shares, meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. Refer to Note 21 for further details related to class C shares. The following table provides a continuity of the company’s outstanding equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024: Class C shares (US$ MILLIONS, except as noted) Shares outstanding (Shares) Share capital Balance as at January 1, 2024 25,934,120 $ 737 Balance as at June 30, 2024 25,934,120 $ 737 The company’s share capital is comprised of exchangeable shares, class B shares and class C shares. Due to the exchange feature of the exchangeable shares and the cash redemption feature of the class B and class C shares, the exchangeable shares, the class B shares, and the class C shares are classified as financial liabilities. However, the class C shares, the most subordinated of all of the company’s classes of common shares, meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. Refer to Note 5 for further details related to the exchangeable shares and the class B shares. |

EQUITY | EXCHANGEABLE SHARES, CLASS B SHARES AND CLASS C SHARES The exchangeable shares and the class B shares are classified as liabilities due to their exchangeable and cash redemption features. Upon issuance, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares were recognized at their fair values. Subsequent to initial recognition, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares are recognized at amortized cost and remeasured to reflect changes in the contractual cash flows associated with the shares. These contractual cash flows are based on the price of one LP Unit. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 3 exchangeable shares were exchanged into LP Units ( June 30, 2023: 622). As at June 30, 2024, the exchangeable shares and the class B shares were remeasured to reflect the closing price of one LP Unit, which was valued at $18.85 per unit. Remeasurement gains or losses associated with the exchangeable shares and class B shares are recorded in remeasurement of exchangeable and class B shares in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $9 million of dividends (June 30, 2023: $9 million of dividends) were declared on the outstanding exchangeable shares of the company and included in interest income (expense), net in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results.

However, the class C shares, the most subordinated class of all the company’s classes of common shares, meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. Refer to Note 21 for further details related to class C shares. The following table provides a continuity of the company’s outstanding equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024: Class C shares (US$ MILLIONS, except as noted) Shares outstanding (Shares) Share capital Balance as at January 1, 2024 25,934,120 $ 737 Balance as at June 30, 2024 25,934,120 $ 737 The company’s share capital is comprised of exchangeable shares, class B shares and class C shares. Due to the exchange feature of the exchangeable shares and the cash redemption feature of the class B and class C shares, the exchangeable shares, the class B shares, and the class C shares are classified as financial liabilities.

Related Party [Abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the normal course of operations, the company entered into the transactions below with related parties. The ultimate parent of the company is Brookfield Corporation. Other related parties of the company represent Brookfield Corporation’s subsidiaries and operating entities. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, the company and other service recipients (the “Service Recipients” as defined in the Master Services Agreement) pay a base management fee, referred to as the Base Management Fee, to certain service providers (the “Service Providers” as defined in the Master Services Agreement), equal to 0.3125% per quarter (1.25% annually) of the total capitalization of Brookfield Business Partners. For purposes of calculating the Base Management Fee, the total capitalization of Brookfield Business Partners is equal to the quarterly volume-weighted average trading price of an LP Unit on the principal stock exchange for the LP Units (based on trading volumes) multiplied by the number of LP Units outstanding at the end of the quarter (assuming full conversion of the Redemption-Exchange Units into LP Units of Brookfield Business Partners L.P.), plus the value of securities of the other service recipients (including the exchangeable shares) that are not held by Brookfield Business Partners, plus all outstanding debt with recourse to a service recipient, less all cash held by such entities. The company is responsible for paying its proportionate share of the total Base Management Fee in connection with the Master Services Agreement. The Base Management Fee attributable to the company for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024 was $6 million and $12 million, respectively (June 30, 2023: $5 million and $9 million, respectively). The expense related to the services received under the Master Services Agreement has been recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operating results. An integral part of the company’s strategy is to participate with institutional investors in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit the company’s investment mandate. In the normal course of business, the group and institutional investors have made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds, and in connection therewith, the group, together with institutional investors, has access to short-term financing using the private equity funds’ credit facilities to facilitate investments that Brookfield has determined to be in the group’s best interests. In addition, Brookfield has entered into indemnity agreements with the company related to certain contracts that were in place prior to the creation of Brookfield Business Partners. Under these indemnity agreements, Brookfield has agreed to indemnify or refund the company, as appropriate, for the receipt of payments relating to such contracts. The company’s construction operation is involved in legal proceedings related to legacy projects in the Middle East which predates the special distribution and the partnership’s spin-off from Brookfield. Brookfield has agreed to indemnify the company for certain legacy projects in the Middle East and during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the company drew on the indemnity agreement for a receivable related to this project. The partnership has an agreement with Brookfield to subscribe for up to $1.5 billion of perpetual preferred equity securities of subsidiaries of the partnership (including subsidiaries of the company). Brookfield will have the right to cause the company or Brookfield Business Partners to redeem the preferred securities at par plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the extent of any net proceeds received by the company or Brookfield Business Partners from the issuance of equity, incurrence of indebtedness or sale of assets. Brookfield has the right to waive its redemption option. As at June 30, 2024, the amount subscribed from the company was $nil (December 31, 2023: $nil) and the amount subscribed from Brookfield Business Partners was $725 million (December 31, 2023: $725 million). The remaining capacity available on the commitment agreement with Brookfield is $25 million. The company entered into two credit agreements with Brookfield Business Partners, one as borrower and one as lender, each providing for a 10-year revolving $1 billion credit facility to facilitate the movement of cash within the group. The credit facility permits the company to borrow up to $1 billion from Brookfield Business Partners and the other permits Brookfield Business Partners to borrow up to $1 billion from the company. Each credit facility contemplates potential deposit arrangements pursuant to which the lender thereunder would, with the consent of the borrower, deposit funds on a demand basis. As at June 30, 2024, the amount outstanding on deposit is $274 million payable to Brookfield Business Partners included in accounts payable and other (December 31, 2023: $135 million receivable from Brookfield Business Partners). Brookfield Business Partners provided the company an equity commitment in the amount of $2 billion. The equity commitment may be called by the company in exchange for the issuance of a number of class C shares or preferred shares, as the case may be, to Brookfield Business Partners, corresponding to the amount of the equity commitment called divided (i) in the case of a subscription for class C shares, by the volume-weighted average of the trading price for one exchangeable share on the principal stock exchange on which the exchangeable shares are listed for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of the call, and (ii) in the case of a subscription for preferred shares, by $25.00 per share. The equity commitment will be available in minimum amounts of $10 million and the amount available under the equity commitment will be reduced permanently by the amount so called. Before funds may be called on the equity commitment, a number of conditions precedent must be met, including that Brookfield Business Partners continues to control the company and has the ability to elect a majority of the Board of Directors. From time to time, Brookfield may place funds on deposit with Brookfield Business Partners and the company, on terms approved by the independent directors of the company. Interest earned or incurred on such deposits is at market terms. As at June 30, 2024, the deposit from Brookfield was $nil (December 31, 2023: $nil) and the company incurred interest expense of $nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 on these deposits (June 30, 2023: $nil). A wholly-owned subsidiary of the company fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Brookfield Business Partners under Brookfield Business Partners’ $2.35 billion bilateral credit facilities with global banks and its $1 billion revolving acquisition credit facility with Brookfield. As at June 30, 2024, the company had a loan receivable of $1.1 billion from Brookfield Business Partners in connection with the proceeds received from the disposition of the company’s nuclear technology services operation. The loan receivable is non-interest bearing and is due on demand and included in accounts and other receivable, net.
