Investopedia explains 'Bank Statement'

Consumers should carefully review their bank statements and retain them for their own records. In reconciling their own record of transactions with the bank's records, account holders should be on the lookout for incorrect or transposed numbers as well as unauthorized transactions. Discrepancies should be reported as soon as possible, in writing if possible.
