Whether or not your parole officer can see your bank account statements and banking activity absent a court order depends upon what the terms and conditions of your parole state. As such, you need to carefully read the terms of your parole in order to assist in the answer of your question.
If the document is silent as to whether or not the parole officer can view your bank account records and activity, you need to ask for the legal and factual basis for the viewing to your parole officer. Most likely he or she can see the records without a court order based upon my experience.
