The screen
Accounting → Bank Accounts
At the top, Total Cash Position consolidates every account into one figure, with money In and Out for the selected period alongside it.
Below that, one card per account showing the account name, its current balance, the movement up or down, the opening balance and a Reconciled badge.
On the right, Recent transactions lists the latest movements — party name, amount in green (in) or red (out), the account and the date.
The header carries three actions:

Example
A business receives Rs. 20,000 from a customer, recorded into its Nabil Bank account. Later it pays Rs. 5,000 of expenses from the same account. The bank balance now reads Rs. 15,000, and both movements appear under Recent transactions.
