Whenever a partner exits a partnership, the books of accounts of such a firm have to be settled. The outgoing partner or his legal representatives have to be paid their dues. This means a revaluation of assets and liabilities must be done. Let us take a look at the accounting treatment.
Adjustment for Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities
At the time of retirement or death of a partner, there may be some assets and liabilities which are not recorded in books at their current values. Also, there may be some unrecorded assets and liabilities which need to be recorded in the books.

A Revaluation Account is prepared in order to ascertain net gain or loss on revaluation of assets and liabilities and bringing unrecorded items into books. The Revaluation profit or loss is transferred to the capital account of all partners including retiring or deceased partners in their old profit sharing ratio.
