Owner(s) Capital Account note to the financial statements

The "Capital" account appears under the equity section of an unincorporated company's balance sheet. It tallies the owner's investments, profits made from operations, and cash drawings of each owner of a sole proprietorship or a partnership. Moreover, an owner's capital account note will show a reader all expected activities within the account. Furthermore, this note should provide detailed information on how you arrived at the ending capital account balances in your forecasted financial statements.

PLEASE NOTE: only a sole proprietorship and partnerships will have a capital account - most corporations use "Share" accounts and "Retained Earnings" accounts to tally investments, operational profits, and payments made to shareholders (dividends). Below provides an example of a capital account note to the forecasted financial statements.
