Hence under this method two type of accounts are made one is capital account and other is current account. Therefore all entries relating to drawings, interest on capital, profit and loss share of partner are made in a separate account for each partner, it is called current account of partners. However when partner brings additional capital or withdraws capital permanently, then capital account is credited or debited respectively.Fluctuating Capital Account - Under this method capital account of partners will not remain fixed rather they will keep fluctuating from time to time.
