This is from a Vollmacht Formular - the agent is being authorised to receive various documents from the bank, including Kontoabrechnungen. Various dictionaries have thrown up a translation of 'account statements', but I have been translating 'Kontoauszüge' as account statements. Another option is 'bank reconciliation account', but this seems to be a document that one (or one's accountant) prepares oneself so wouldn't be sent by the bank.
Can anyone suggest a translation or explain the distinction between Kontoabrechnungen and Kontoauszüge?

I'd suggest they are described as "periodic bank statements" and "bank statement extracts", which tells the reader that they are not the same thing.
Don't by the way fall into the trap of immediately accepting all previous posts on this site - even glossary entries; a fair number of them are downright wrong...
The second (Account confirmation) is proof of one or several transaction(s) inside the account having taken place (which theoretically can go back months or years) to verify a specific point (legal issues/loan applications etc)
