A physical pooling means a real flow of cash between accounts and national only theoretical in order to calculate of interest from consolidated main account. The benefits of cash pooling rely on: *optimalization of interest effect – percentages from compensated balance yield higher revenues than those from individual accounts; *reduction of operating,financial costs *increase of financial liquidity; *improvement of cash flows transparency and by that a possibility of more effective management of them.
