US Bank Statements for Audit Trail

U.S. Bank statements downloaded from the online portal are clean PDFs with consistent formatting across all account types. 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.
