💡 Accountant's Note

Non-defaulting LPs are called upon to fund the defaulting LP's share pro-rata to their existing commitments. This increases the non-defaulting LPs' funded contributions and reduces their remaining unfunded commitment. The additional call amount is tracked separately for purposes of calculating the defaulting LP's penalty/forfeiture.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Issue revised capital call notices to non-defaulting LPs. Update the LP register to reflect increased funded contributions and decreased unfunded commitments for each non-defaulting LP. Cross-reference to the original defaulting LP receivable.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors confirm the shortfall funding is authorized by the LPA, verify the pro-rata allocation to non-defaulting LPs, and assess the impact on the defaulting LP's economic interest.

📄 Required Documentation

Amended capital call notice, LPA default and shortfall provisions, updated LP commitment schedule, wire confirmations from non-defaulting LPs.
