Bank Statement BatchFAQ
Do the balance checks replace an audit?
No. Checks look for arithmetic breaks: opening, closing, running balance, and month-to-month continuity when the PDFs print those figures.
A pass means the printed numbers close. It does not mean transactions are real, complete, or compliant.
Two incorrect PDFs can still chain. Use the evidence, then use your judgment. This is not tax, legal, or audit software.
