# Recognise cash from the trustee

> Confirm how much of each trustee transfer reached your account — in full, short, or not at all.

When the trustee logs a transfer to you, it waits under **Cash Recognition** › **Pending**. Recognising it adds the money to the trust's cash account with you. Until you do, you cannot invest it, spend it or return it.

<Info>
  **Where:** **Cash Recognition** in the menu. **Before you start:** have your bank statement for the value date to hand.

| Field | What to enter |
| - | - |
| Recognised amount | What actually arrived |
| Variance narrative | Why it differs, for example bank charges |
| Outstanding receipt / partial recognition | Tick if the rest is still expected. Leave unticked if the difference will never arrive; the trustee then has to approve it. |
| Supporting documents | The bank advice showing the amount received |

Select **Request OTP to confirm recognition**, enter the code, and select **Recognise cash**.

</Frame>

| What you recognise | What happens |
| - | - |
| Less, **Outstanding receipt** ticked | Status **Outstanding receipt**. What arrived is added to your cash now; the rest is still expected. |
| Less, not ticked | Goes to the trustee for approval (status **Pending trustee approval**). Once approved, the status is **Recognised** and the difference is closed. |
| More than was sent | Goes to the trustee for approval (status **Pending trustee approval**). See the [trustee's guide](/trustee/cash-recognition). |

## Nothing arrived

Write a **Rejection reason**, then select **Reject recognition (3)**, enter the code and confirm with **Reject recognition**.

</Frame>

<Accordion title="Good to know: which option to choose when the amount differs">
  Ask yourself whether the missing part will still come.

  * **Yes, it is delayed** — tick **Outstanding receipt**. You can use what arrived straight away, and the rest stays open.
  * **No, it is gone** (for example bank charges) — leave it unticked. The trustee has to agree the loss before it is booked.
  * **More arrived** (for example interest) — the trustee has to agree the extra too.

  The trustee sees your **Variance narrative** and evidence, so explain the difference plainly.
</Accordion>

## Recognition register

**Recognition register** lists every recognition and its outcome. Each row shows the recognition reference with its transfer underneath (or **Manual**), and the trust by name.

</Frame>

## Manual recognition

Use **Manual recognition** for money that arrived without a trustee transfer being logged. Choose the **Source trust** from your trusts, then enter the amount, channel, value date, reference and narrative, upload the evidence and select **Create manual recognition**.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/eosb/0t_sOz-4hl3RwdGF/images/fund-manager/cash-recognition/manual.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0t_sOz-4hl3RwdGF&q=85&s=a5f30fb770d9c361c6a80a2a9abc54ce" alt="Manual recognition form with receipt details and supporting documents" width="2880" height="1918" data-path="images/fund-manager/cash-recognition/manual.png" />
</Frame>

**Next:** invest the cash through a [portfolio framework](/fund-manager/portfolio-frameworks), or [return money to the trust](/fund-manager/transfers-to-trust).
