The Statement of Partners' Capital

The statement of partners' capital shows the changes in each partner's capital account for the year or period being reported on. It has the same format as the statement of owner's equity except that it includes a column for each partner and a total column for the company rather than just one column. The statement starts with the beginning capital balance, followed by the amounts of investments made, share of net income or loss, and withdrawals made during the reporting period to determine the capital balance at the end of the period.
