# Fulfill a balance confirmation request by an external audit firm

**Auditors:** Don't contact Stripe directly. To protect user privacy and security, we're unable to disclose user information to third parties. The Stripe account holder must contact Stripe support on your behalf.
## Provide a PDF statement
You can export a PDF report of your funds movement and end of year balance directly from the Stripe Dashboard to share with your auditors.
1. In the Dashboard, navigate to **Reporting** > [Balance Summary Reports](https://dashboard.stripe.com/reports/balance).
1. Apply the relevant filters, such as the date range and timezone.
1. On the section of the report you'd like to export, click **Export**.
1. In the pop-up, select **PDF** as the file format.
1. Choose your preferred **report format** and **currencies**, then click **Download PDF**.
There are two report formats available:
- **Summary**: Shows the total figures for the selected period. Use this if your auditor only needs high-level totals.
- **Itemized**: Shows a row-by-row breakdown of every transaction that contributed to the summary totals. Use this if your auditor needs to trace individual line items.
### If your auditor requires itemized data
The PDF itemized report format is limited to 5,000 rows. If your data exceeds this limit, we recommend:
- Downloading the **PDF Summary** report format, and
- Downloading the **CSV itemized** report format as supplementary data to accompany the PDF Summary.
## Provide View Only access to your Stripe account
If your auditor requires direct access to your Stripe account, you can invite them as a **View Only** guest. They will have access to the most detailed financial data for your business from the [Balance Summary Reports](https://dashboard.stripe.com/reports/balance).
To invite an external member with **View Only** access, see Invite team members or developers to access your Stripe account.
Once the audit is complete, remember to remove the auditor's access from Dashboard settings.
