A Limited Partnership is formed in Ontario according to the statutes of the Ontario Limited Partnership Act. A limited partnership is a partnership governed by statute and any governing documents agreed to between the parties (e.g. limited partnership agreement).
Determine whether assets of the partnership will be valued at cost, market or depreciated value. Determine the valuation of goodwill and depreciation policy. Determine whether there will be any interest on advances and capital contributions by the partners. Unless otherwise agreed, a partner is not entitled, before the ascertainment of profits, to any interest on capital subscribed by the partner (see s. 24(4)of the Act). However, if a partner makes any payment or advance for the partnership beyond the amount of capital that the partner has agreed to subscribe, then the partner is, unless otherwise agreed, entitled to interest at a rate of 5% per annum from the date of payment or advance (see s. 24(3) of the Act). Determine the write-off policy, reserves for working capital, receivables, overvalued inventory, policy regarding partnership and personal expenses, calculation of profit and any other relevant accounting principles and policies. All of the above should be considered with the firm’s auditors or accountants.
