Report flags / bank statement
NUMBERS“Running balance breaks between rows”
What this flag on a bank statement means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
On some rows, the printed balance isn't the previous balance plus that row's amount.
Why it matters
When someone edits a transaction amount, the balances after it stop following. It's exactly the trace an edit leaves.
Ordinary explanations
- Pending transactions shown on some online printouts, which banks list separately.
What to check
Ask the applicant for the statement downloaded directly from the bank's website or app, and compare the transactions around the break.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
