Report flags / bank statement
NUMBERS“Transactions dated outside the statement period”
What this flag on a bank statement means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
Some transactions carry dates before the statement starts or after it ends.
Why it matters
A statement covers its period only. Rows from outside it suggest rows were copied in from elsewhere.
Ordinary explanations
- Posting-date and transaction-date differences around the period boundary.
What to check
Ask the applicant for the statement downloaded directly from the bank's website or app, and compare the dates.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
