Member Withdrawal - Accumulated Interest

Jay Sternin on

I've read and I think understand the material on how to
process a member withdrawal. A nit that seems not to be
addressed is the following:
- having selected a valuation date and transaction date I
  get the proper withdraw amount. However we're
  accumulating some (trivial) interest in a money market
  which doesn't show up on the brokerage statement until the
  end of the month (after the withdrawal).

Question - shouldn't the withdrawing partner receive a share
of that interest (small as it is)? Or, since it isn't
credited to the account until after his/her withdrawal it's
just not a consideration?

Thanks......Jay

The latter. Since the interest hasn't been credited by the withdrawal date, the withdrawing partner doesn't receive it.

Conversely, a new member receives a part of any interest earned after the valuation date just prior to his joining up to his entry date.

That's correct. Club Accounting is designed to work on a "cash" basis, not
an "accrual" basis.
