  We review the current status of the understanding how the accretion onto the
central black hole proceeds in Active Galaxies. Standard accretion disk is a
key element in all relatively bright active galaxies like Seyferts and quasars,
although it is not present in very low luminosity sources, like Sgr A*.
However, the standard disk does not explain the broad band spectrum, so the
disk has to be supplemented with a number of additional components, and our
deeper understanding of these components is still far from being complete.
These additional elements are: compact hard X-ray corona, inner hot flow, warm
corona, disk wind and the Broad Line Region, and finally dusty/molecular torus.
All these elements seem to be needed in various proportions, depending
predominantly on the Eddington ratio of a given source. These elements also
interact with each other which is not yet fully taken into account.
