This might depend on who you bank with and the ATM you use, but I often find that the dates are all out of whack. Sometimes the transaction is recorded immediately, and sometimes it appears on the statement a few days later. It may show that you withdrew a lot of money all on the same day, whereas some of the transactions are really from previous days.
It tends to be worse with credit cards. Last week a transaction went through on my Amex card for accommodation I used last December. (Which worked out well, coz the Rupiah had dropped quite a bit in the meantime.)
