CBE Statements for Audit Trail

CBE statement PDFs are available via CBE Internet Banking. Personal and business account statements are both supported. 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.
