Kontoauszug vs Aufstellung
lineup / list
'die Aufstellung' and 'der Kontoauszug' can both be an ordered overview of information. 'Aufstellung' is the more general word: it can be a list or breakdown of costs, figures, or facts. 'Kontoauszug' is much more specific and belongs to the area of banking and money. It shows what has happened in a bank account, for example deposits and debits. If you mean any list of figures, 'Aufstellung' fits. If it is about transactions on a bank account, 'Kontoauszug' is the right word.
