I have some assets that I share with my spouse. Two examples are our home and a shared bank account. In each case, when I compute my own net worth, I want to consider these joint assets with a pre-determined fraction.
I can certainly create liabilities to offset those assets and then enter transactions to keep them at the preset fraction. And expenses paid from a joint bank account I might record as splits, with half going against equity (?), the other half to expense. But I'd rather something more automatic. I've not found it, aside from my old standby of python scripts to do checks and spot errors. Does such a thing exist in gnucash? Joint ownership is common in the business world, can anyone point me to what it's called or how it's handled among accountants? The closest I've found is the equity method <https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/accounting-for-joint-ventures.html> for accounting for joint ventures. This might just be overkill for my house and a shared bank account. -- Jeff Abrahamson +33 6 24 40 01 57 +44 7920 594 255 https://www.p27.eu/jeff/ https://www.transport-nantes.com/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
