For this purpose, a Realisation Account is prepared to ascertain the net effect (profit or loss) of realisation of assets and payment of liabilities which may be is transferred to partner’s capital accounts in their profit sharing ratio.

Fictitious assets are transferred to the Debit side of Partners' Capital account as these are treated as losses.
