The created "Owner Statement" will be in the "Awaiting Audit" status. Once the contents are finally checked and approved, it will be in the "Confirmed" status. Once it is in the "Confirmed" state, it will be available for viewing when the client user associated with the owner logs in.
*If you have added an expense because it was missed, you can update it by clicking "Recalculate."
