Purpose: Lists all matters with outstanding invoice balances and available Client Account funds. It is designed to help law firms identify available or potential Client Account funds that could be transferred to cover outstanding invoice balances. The report’s ‘Grand Total’ figures can assist law firms in assessing their overall financial health.

The results can be filtered based on Staff Responsible or Staff Acting to enhance accountability and enable targeted follow-up. Users can also choose to view ‘Matter Totals’ or add further invoice breakdowns.
