All items like share of profit or loss, interest on capital, drawings, interest on drawings, etc. are recorded in a separate accounts, called Partner’s Current Account. Thus under this method, two accounts are maintained for each partner viz., capital account and current account.

For an asset taken over by a partner, the following journal entry is passed-

       To Realisation A/c

Partners's Current Account A/c Dr.
