# Balance Platform Accounting Report

Get an overview of the financial activities on your platform.

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

You can use the information from the Accounting Report to:

* Track the payment lifecycle by checking the statuses of rows with a shared Transfer Id.
* Track incoming and outgoing funds to and from external bank accounts.
* Create insights into your authorization rate.

You can [generate](/issuing/generate-download-reports) the report automatically based on a schedule, or manually for a specific day in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/).

## Transfers and Transactions

Most events on your balance platform follow the same structure. The structure contains a Transfer and Transactions.

* **Transfer**: Events where the credit or debit is pending and no real money movement has taken place. The payment or transfer is initiated, and then authorized or refused. Linked events share the same Transfer Id. Refunds initiate a new flow where separate received, authorised, and refunded events are created with a new Transfer Id that does not link to the original payment.
* **Transactions**: Events where the credit and debit are booked on the balance and real money movement has taken place. If there is no Transaction Id available, no money movement has taken place yet. You can link a transaction to a transfer by matching the Transfer Id. A status of `cancelled` has a Transaction Id even though there is no real money movement. This allows you to reconcile the cancellation with the corresponding payment.

## Sample

[Download a sample BalancePlatform Accounting Report](/issuing/report-types/balance-platform-accounting-report/SAMPLE_balanceplatform_accounting_report.csv) for examples of the included data. Based on your platform settings, the report that you generate may contain additional data or columns that are not included in the sample report.

## Report structure

The Accounting Report has [standard columns](#standard-columns) that are included by default in every report, and [additional columns](#additional-columns) you can add to your reports from the Customer Area.

The generated report includes the balance mutations with a **Booking Date** for all the accounts for your balance platform between opening (00:00 AM) and closing (00:00 AM the next day) for your selected day in Central European Time (CET).

**Standard columns**[]()

The following table shows the standard columns that are included in the Accounting Report, in their default order.
