Presumably they want company bank statements that cover some time the company received income?
Is it possible to cover up the received income? I find gluing blank paper over the relevant part, then photocopying, helps.
Make sure you don't cut the paper. Tear it using a ruler so it leaves a bevelled edge.
Of course, if they asked for the original, you would be stuffed!

Dunno about you but if my CV doesn't match with reality and I'm going through vetting I'm going to be worried as there is 10s of K of income on the line however small or innocent it is. It's still a risk
What he's worried about is his bank statements but since he's not given the full information on what bank statements they are looking at and whether he runs a limited then he can't get a useful answer.

a 2 week gig can easily be swallowed by listing from and to dates with months as the least common denominator, who puts '3rd Feb to 26th March Gig X' on their CV, on mine it would appear as Feb to March Gig X'.

It's no ******* wonder people become IR35 nightmares with stupidity like this.

Your CV should represent what you have achieved in your career so far. It won't necessarily have everything on it.
Just fulfil the request and answer any questions that arise.

Which bank statements are they looking at? Your personal bank statements? Your company bank statements?
Edited to say your personal bank statements shouldn't show whether you are in a contract or not, if you don't use an umbrella company.

I left a 2 week gig off my CV. Now I'm being asked for Bank Statements
As part of a vetting process with a finance firm I've been asked to submit bank statements covering gaps in 'employment. ' Fine but the problem is, I left two weeks into a 6 month contract with another client earlier this year due to disagreement/issues with my working schedule. As I was there a short period I didn't include it on my CV. However I was paid twice (once each week) for my work carried out.
Will this be picked up or questioned when the checking company look through my bank statements or are they just looking for proof that you weren't in prison etc.?
