💡 Accountant's Note

The quarterly NAV calculation aggregates all income (realized gains, unrealized marks, interest, dividends), less all expenses (management fees, fund expenses), to arrive at the net change in fund NAV. This net change is allocated to LP capital accounts pro-rata to their ownership percentage. The LP's ending capital account balance equals prior balance + contributions - distributions + allocated net income.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Run the full NAV calculation in the fund accounting system after all quarter-end marks are finalized. Generate individual LP capital account statements showing beginning balance, contributions, distributions, income allocation, expense allocation, and ending balance. Reconcile total NAV to the sum of all individual LP capital accounts.

⚠️ Audit Flags

The LP capital account statement reconciliation is a fundamental audit procedure. Auditors verify total allocated income equals fund income, all LP accounts are included, and the pro-rata allocation percentages are correct.

📄 Required Documentation

Quarterly NAV workpapers, individual LP capital account statements, fund-level income statement, LP ownership percentage schedule, reconciliation of total LP capital to fund net assets.
