Refresher Partnership Dissolution
Dissolution of a partnership is the change in the relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be
associated in the carrying on of the partnership as a distinguished from the winding up of the business of the
partnership (Civil code of the Philippines, Art. 1828)
On dissolution, the partnership is not terminated, but continues until the winding up of partnership affairs is
completed (Art. 1829).
This may be caused by the following:
Retirement or Withdrawal
The interest of the withdrawing, retiring or deceased partner is adjusted for the following:
o his share of any profit or loss during the period up to the date of his withdrawal,
retirement or death; and
o his share of any revaluation gains or losses as the date of his withdrawal, retirement,
or death.
When settlement do not equal with net interest, capital re-alignment issue arises:
o Settlement > Net Interest
o Settlement < Net Interest
Death/Incapacity

capital balances of the partners must be updated upon death and the adjusted capital of the deceased partner
shall be transferred to a liability account.

accounts over the par value or stated value of shares issued to partners is treated as a share premium. Stock
issue cost are deductions against share premium.
