BoA Statements for Audit Trail

Bank of America statements include account summary data before transactions — MintConvert skips summary tables and extracts only transaction rows. Audit procedures require transaction-level evidence from bank statements. PDFs are not queryable — auditors need structured data to run analytical procedures, test completeness, and identify anomalies.

Secure Financial Data Processing

For Bank of America specifically: BoA PDFs use a three-column layout: Date, Description, and a combined Amount column with a +/− prefix.
