My trick is to get text messages/app notifications live when a credit card charge goes through (Chase at least supports this).
Then, I either dismiss the message, or deal with it immediately. I find this much easier than going over a statement at the end of the month. Usually the context for the charge is front and center, instead of and puzzling whether "AMZN MKTP US*TO10VLA93" is something I really bought 28 days ago or if someone used my CC.
