Nothing.  It was put in for future features which have never been
implemented.

It would be for an employee's credit card.  I.e., if the employee has a
company card, this would be the card's account.  It's used in the "Cash"
vs "Card" option in an expense voucher.  Cash implies pay the employee
by check.  Card implies pay the card.
