I am not familiar with the stats that a merchant sees at ccbill so I cannot comment on whether they are accurate or not.
However, the internet is imperfect. There are many reasons for stats to be off from reality. Even if you go to the raw logs level you may not see "reality". Servers go down, requests do not get completed and many other reasons why stats may not match "reality".
So, to say that "stats should be accurate" ignores reality and I believe that is why nobody that knows how things work is going to say that for you.
They should be as accurate as possible but they will never be 100%.
