If you don't have your receipts, it it okay to use your banks statements to verify your expenses for self-employment

There are some receipts that I no longer have that were for my expenses used for my contracting work, but when I review my past bank statements, I can recall and verify which expenses were used for my work. Is it okay for me to report my expenses without having the receipts?

Sure, as long as you can justify them if you are audited.
