**Part of:** [Pams](subsystem-pams)

`Account` is a C# data model representing an account record in the Pams data layer. It stores account identity, company ownership, currency, type, display names, VAT data, status, image path, and principal-account state.

## Usage

```ts
type Account = {
  primaryID: number;
  companyID: number | null;
  accountCurrencyCode: string;
  accountTypeID: number | null;
  name: string;
  fullName: string;
  vat: string;
  isActive: boolean | null;
  imgPath: string;
  isPrincipal: boolean;
};

async function getAccount(primaryID: number): Promise<Account> {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/accounts/${primaryID}`);

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error("Unable to load account");
  }

  return response.json();
}

const account = await getAccount(123);

if (account.isActive && account.isPrincipal) {
  console.log(`Principal account: ${account.fullName}`);
}
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Treat `PrimaryID` as the account identifier when reading, updating, or linking account records.
- Handle `CompanyID`, `AccountTypeID`, and `IsActive` as nullable values before using them in application logic.
- Preserve `AccountCurrencyCode` when creating integrations involving balances, invoices, or financial reporting.
- Use `IsPrincipal` to distinguish the primary account from other account records for the same company.
- Keep API field naming consistent with the serialization settings used by the .NET application.
