Financial Statements Of A Partnership
Übersicht
Two or more people go into business together, pool their capital, and share the work. When it comes to sharing the profit, a simple even split rarely feels fair: one partner may have contributed far more capital, or done far more of the day-to-day running of the business. A partnership's financial statements exist to divide profit exactly as the partners agreed, and to keep a running record of what each partner is owed.
In this lesson you will learn how a partnership differs from a sole trader and a limited liability partnership, what the Partnership Act 1890 assumes when partners have no written agreement, how an appropriation account distributes profit between partners, and how capital accounts and current accounts work together to record each partner's stake.
