Employer Wants to Audit Bank Statements: Legal?

I'm a sole proprietor through a franchise company. I have a dba checking account at my bank with my name and the franchise name on it. The franchise company that I work for wants to go through my bank statements to see if I've done work "under the table". I also use this account for personal reasons. Can they legally check it?

That would be based on the arrangement you have with your franchisor. Your bank shouldn't release a statement to them without your express authorization. In most cases, if they don't get the statement from you, they won't get it.
