When a partner dies, what is the main purpose of preparing the deceased partner’s final account in a partnership firm?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To ascertain the total amount due to the deceased partner or the legal representative

The deceased partner’s final account incorporates items such as the capital balance, current account balance, share of goodwill, revaluation profit or loss, and share of profit up to the date of death. Its main purpose is therefore to ascertain the total amount due to the deceased partner or the legal representative. Bank reconciliation, stock counting, and auditing are separate accounting activities. Exam tip: In death-of-a-partner questions, include all adjustments up to the date of death while determining the amount due.
