'statement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in the red good gracious' is the wordplay.

'in your bank' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for record that I've seen before include "Annal" , "Best or worst performance" , "that has been cut" , "Best known performance in sport" , "Set down in permanent form" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
