APPLICATION (or what does it do…)
The Cash Pool system, and especially Zero Balancing, is most frequently used in the case of a group of businesses or a business with many branches, if the financial management at the branches (in the case of Zero Balancing) results in the need to maintain several current accounts or sub-accounts. Zero Balancing is also applicable in the case of managing cost and profit centres, accounts serving various groups of products or services offered by a company, segments of the market, geographic areas, etc. It is also applicable in the normal linking of the main account with a sub-account (e.g. Payroll) so that there is no need to transfer funds from the main account on each occasion.
