Quick Summary
When a partnership dissolves, an omission of trade creditors from the balance sheet requires careful handling. These omitted liabilities should not be deducted directly from partners' capital accounts. Instead, their validity should be confirmed through statements and financial records. The adjustment will typically be processed through the bank and realisation accounts.
No it should not be deducted from Partners capital account but that creditor balance should be ascertained from the confirmation statements and verify the claim according to such confirmation obtained with financial statements in balance sheet
