New partners investment: a new partner acquires a share in partnership by investing in the business in the form of cash or other assets. There are three possible cases when a new partner invests in partnership.

  1. The new partner investment equals the new partner’s proportional share in partnership’s book value.
  2. The new partner’s investment is more than the new partner’s proportion of partnership’s book value. This indicates that the partnership assets were undervalued or a unrecorded goodwill exists.
  3. The new partner’s investment is less than his proportional share in partnership book value. This suggests that the partnership assets were overvalued on its books or the new partner may be contributing goodwill in addition to other assets

Internal controls are the rules and procedures that a company develops and implements. These controls help to maintain the accountability and integrity of the accounting information as well as help to prevent fraud. There are many objectives of a well-designed internal control structure in an organization. These include having a controlled environment, assessing risks, and monitoring. An example of a control that I personally use would be in our register system. Every night, the evening cook/helper counts down the cash register drawer and lets me know how much cash was in the drawer over the amount that we leave in it every night of $125. The next morning, I compare the information from the cash register balance sheet to the computer system to ensure all numbers match up. These numbers are then recorded daily into a monthly spreadsheet that we ensure balances at the end of the month. Respond to ally's post
