do schools ever require bank statements for verification?

in determining eligibility for need-based institutional aid, i've been asked a few times the balance of my parent's bank accounts. she's extremely hesitant to furnish these types of records because she's paranoid/feels its invasive - do schools ever go to the length of asking for them?
also, do schools typically take the FAFSA and need-access applications on your word? at this point it seems the only verification they ask for are copies of student and parent tax returns. will they ask for anything else?
i hope this doesn't sound shady - i've already submitted both the FAFSA and need-access and have just had a really tough time prying the information from my parent. thanks.
