At work we have several modules which each have their "output control". When the user hits "submit", we run several checks and outputs a list of potential issues.
We've got four levels: info, warning, severe warning and error. Warnings are highlighted, severe warnings must be explicitly accepted (and we log this) and errors prevent submission.
When clicking on an item in the list, the cursor moves to the relevant control, so they don't have to hunt around.
We add the checks we can think of, and keep on adding checks based on user mistakes and feedback.
I'm not familiar with the financial world, so I don't know how common it would be to do what they wanted to do, but at the very least it sounds like the principal account number being filled out but not the two others is something we'd made an info item from, to highlight what would happen. If what they ended up doing is unusual, it would be a warning and likely severe warning due to the amount.
