     And why isn't the bank statements in PDF files the "audit trail"?
The numbers in those files can be compared with the numbers in the
tables. The query structure will show whether the query will give the
correct results or not. If the input numbers are correct, and the
operations performed on those numbers are correct; it seems logical to
assume that the output would also be correct. When in doubt, the query
structure can also be checked by feeding it data with known
calculations. If the query output on this data matches the known
calculations, I would think the query can be trusted to give the correct
result on other data as long as that data can be verified first.
