It is not permissible for a Muslim to delay the rights of others when he is able to fulfill them, as that is an act of injustice. In this matter, the statement of the mudarib (investing partner) is acted upon, and his acknowledgment is taken. If he acknowledges a certain amount, then forgets, and then acknowledges a larger amount, it is best to remind him of what he said first, and to act upon whatever acknowledgment becomes settled.
