This computation assumes that no other events occurred in the 10-day period that changed any of the partners’ personal
assets and personal liabilities. In practice, the accountant must be sure that a computation of net worth is current and timely.
The table shows the effects of the transactions between the partnership and each partner. A presumption of this table is
that the personal creditors of Dan or Gail would not seek court action to block the settlement transactions with the
partnership. Upon winding up and liquidation, the partnership does not have any priority to the partner’s personal assets.
Thus, the personal creditors may seek to block the transactions with the partnership in order to provide more resources from
which they can be paid. A partner who fails to remedy his or her deficit can be sued by the other partners who had to make
additional contributions or even by a partnership creditor if the failed partner is liable to the partnership creditor. But those
claims are not superior to the other claims to the partner’s individual assets.
When accountants provide professional services to partnerships and to its partners, the accountant should expect, at
some time, legal suits involving the partnership and/or individual partners. A strong and thorough understanding of the legal
and accounting foundations of partnerships will be very important to that accountant.
