Examining transactions

An answer put online today talks about the court being able to `examine transactions` of the bankrupt person. What does this mean?

Thank you.

A trustee may need to investigate any financial transactions that you have been involved in. While the transactions are automatically reviewed for a period of 3 months prior to a bankruptcy , depending on the circumstances this could go back as far a 5 years.

What this typically involves is requesting bank statements for the period in question, potentially loan documents etc.
