Capital Call - LP Funding Received
Recording the receipt of called capital from Limited Partners (LPs) in response to a capital call notice issued by the General Partner (GP) to fund a new portfolio investment or fund expenses.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash & Cash Equivalents | Asset (+) | 5,000,000.00 | - |
| LP Capital Contributions Receivable | Asset (-) | - | 5,000,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
When the GP issues a capital call notice, a receivable is established against each LP's unfunded commitment. Upon receipt of wire transfers from LPs, the receivable is extinguished and cash is recognized. The capital is recorded as a contribution to partners' capital, not revenue.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Most fund accounting platforms (Allvue, Investran, Geneva) maintain a capital account ledger per LP. The call amount is allocated pro-rata to each LP's capital account based on their committed percentage. Ensure the call notice date and funding due date are tracked separately for default interest calculations.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors will reconcile LP capital account statements to the subscription agreements and the LP register. Unfunded commitment schedules will be tested for accuracy against the LPA (Limited Partnership Agreement).
