NatWest Statements for Audit Trail

NatWest statements are available as PDFs via NatWest Online or the mobile app — both export the same format and are fully 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.
