# Cash management

Support cash management using the Balance Platform Accounting report.

[View source](/issuing/report-types/balance-platform-accounting-report/cash-management.md)

You can support your cash management activities by consuming and filtering events that affect balance accounts. By analyzing the spending behavior of your cardholders, you can identify trends and predict future cash flows.

## Current and available balances

* **Current balance**: the actual funds held in the balance account. This amount is affected by funding, captures, and refunds. It can be found in the **Balance (PC)** column.
* **Available balance**: the available balance for the cardholder to use. The available balance is the sum of the current balance, **Balance (PC)**, and the authorized balance, **Reserved (PC)**.

## Bank and internal transfers

Bank transfers involve an external bank account and are money-in, money-out transfers. Money movement between balance accounts is referred to as an internal transfer. These internal transfers have the same structure as payments: a transfer and a transaction part. You can differentiate between bank transfers and internal transfers by looking at the following columns and corresponding values:

* **Category**: the product category. For example, `internal` shows activity between two balance accounts and `bank` shows that an external IBAN is involved.
* **Type**: the type of the event. For example, `internalTransfer` and `bankTransfer` identify the source and destination of the transfer.
* **Status**: the status of the type. Both events follow the same flow.

Here is the flow for a bank transfer.

To reconcile an internal transfer, match the rows in the report that have the same **Reference For Beneficiary**. This value is set when making a POST API request for the transfer. In order to reconcile a bank transfer, use **Description**, **Reference**, or **Reference For Beneficiary**.
