Benchmarks & Validation
What Exact Statement validates today and how to verify exports before import.
Mar 15, 2026
Exact Statement does not publish a single public “accuracy percentage” yet. Instead, the product exposes validation signals you can use before import.
Validation Signals Available Today
| Check | Where you see it | What it helps catch |
|---|---|---|
| Preview table | Dashboard preview | obvious column-shift or parsing issues |
| Balance warnings | File status and warning summary | rows where the running balance chain may not match |
| Multiple export formats from one normalized dataset | Preview/export switcher | format-specific issues before download |
| Failed-job refunds | Dashboard and billing records | processing failures that should not consume credits |
Recommended Review Workflow
- Confirm the statement period and account.
- Check whether any rows are flagged with balance warnings.
- Preview the same file in the export format you actually plan to download.
- For QBO, verify the date format and debit/credit direction.
- For Xero, verify the amount sign and Transaction Type column.
- Use the destination app's own import preview before final import.
Why This Matters
Statement PDFs are not one consistent machine format. Different banks, years, products, and scan qualities can all change the layout. The safest workflow is not “blind export”, but “export plus review”.
Output Checks By Format
QBO 3-column
- one
Amountcolumn - positive amount = money in
- negative amount = money out
QBO 4-column
CreditandDebitare split into separate columns- only one of the two should be filled per row
- values are exported as positive numbers in their destination column
Xero CSV
- signed
Amount Transaction Typederived from the amount sign- one consistent date format throughout the file
XLSX
- keeps the selected date format
- includes balance, currency, and account identifier fields for review
