Retirement / Death of a Partner

Revaluation of Assets and Reassessment of Liabilities

Assets and liabilities of a firm must be revalued at the time of retirement / death of a partner. The reason is that the actual value of assets and liabilities may be different from those shown in the Balance Sheet. Not only that, there may be some unrecorded assets and liabilities which need to be brought into books.
