I believe the answer is:

statement

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'account?' is the definition.
(account is a kind of statement)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for statement that I've seen before include "Formal account of events" , "Testament about something said" , "Formal (court) account" , "Bank account document" , "may be taken by police" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
