Introduction

The LYNKS Reports feature enables users to generate and export financial data for analysis, reconciliation, and compliance purposes. Designed for accountants, auditors, and compliance teams, Reports provides flexible data extraction with customizable parameters and multiple output formats.

Users can generate four types of reports: transaction history covering all incoming and outgoing transactions, account statements in standardized banking formats, non-executed transactions for tracking failed or pending payments, and account balances for position monitoring. Each report type supports filtering by ordering party accounts and date ranges, with output options tailored to specific use cases.

Best practices

Follow these recommendations to maximize the value of LYNKS Reports:

• Schedule regular exports — Establish routines for generating transaction history and balance reports to maintain consistent records for reconciliation
• Use appropriate formats — Select CSV or Excel for data analysis and system imports; use PDF for documentation and audit trails
• Filter by account groups — When generating reports for specific business units, select only relevant ordering party accounts to produce focused outputs
• Retain MT940/CAMT.053 files — Archive bank statement downloads for compliance and long-term record retention
• Monitor non-executed transactions — Generate the non-executed transactions report regularly to identify and address payment issues before they impact operations
• Verify date ranges — Confirm the selected date range covers the intended period, particularly when generating reports across month or year boundaries
