There’s some confusion here. @minklet is saying that important information is missing from the “strata roll” and so did not appear in a strata report. But the strata roll just holds the name and addresses of the owners of the building. There’s no financial information held there. A strata report is created by other people who comb through all the publicly available records for a strata building, and summarises that, which includes the minutes of AGM’s, Strata Committee Meetings and the like. Strata Managers are often involved in preparing these minutes, but generally they are “agents” and as such, act on the instructions of the Owners Corporation or the Strata Committee. And if its a new building, it gets complicated with the developer and the initial strata committee being involved.
But Strata Managers (in NSW at least) are qualified, and have to hold a current Strata Managers Licence. So some of what @minklet is writing is confusing, and is not what actually happens. Which is not to say that errors were not made, or that malfeasance occurred, but the actual situation is probably not what you think it might be. So you probably need someone who understands the area to now get involved – possibly you could get a strata lawyer to investigate and provide you with an opinion of what your options might be…
