What Is Proprietorship & Partnership Accounting?

Proprietorship and partnership accounting involves recording business transactions and maintaining financial records for owner-managed businesses.

Partnership accounting may require additional tracking of partners' capital, current accounts, drawings, interest or remuneration where applicable and supported by the partnership arrangement and applicable tax rules.

A proprietorship has no separate legal entity distinct from the proprietor in the same way as a company, so personal and business transactions should be appropriately identified and separated for accounting purposes.
