Now David Cousens, you are confusing me. If you are referring to re-writing the original purchase transaction to correct an error, and the cash that is also transferred in that transaction is also corrected to the new brokerage account, then I agree with you.
If, however, this is a new transaction representing a transfer of existing stock 'in kind' or some other asset which is not really sold, such as an antique or art work, then it would be necessary to figure out the value that the asset had in the source account and to also transfer that value to the new account along with the asset. That transaction pair would be similar to a sale out of the source account and a purchase in the destination account. Again, there is an assumption that the same currency is used throughout.
