Abstract The preparation of statements of realization and liquidation is a topic, which frequently troubles classes in advanced accounting or advanced accounting problems. This condition is certainly not caused by the analytical complexity of the topic. The legally oriented form in which the statement is presented explains part of the difficulty encountered, but the chief stumbling block usually arises in securing a proper classification of the data. If all the transactions of the period are recorded in the appropriate columns of the work sheet, preparation of the statement of realization and liquidation merely involves transferring of the figures from each work sheet column to a column similarly headed in the statement. Use of a ten column work sheet with a pair of columns for each of the five classes of data to be reported will overcome much of the difficulty it is believed. Such a work sheet permits all of the transactions to be classified immediately in the proper categories. Categories according to which data should be presented are also listed with full explanation.
