Suspicious activity flags

A suspicious activity flag is an alert that identifies when the beginning and ending balances of a statement period do not reconcile with the total value of the transactions captured within that period.

These flags are presented in the primary_recon_error_reason and secondary_recon_error_reason inside each period object.

Each suspicious activity flag provides a primary reason for the alert, along with an optional secondary reason that helps to contextualize the alert.
