Those daily records were summation of reports from large formations (infantry divisions/brigades). So smaller units were not included. Then by the very nature daily reports were preliminary and not complete.

Where can I find more complete reports, then?

[Art]

Five-day reports were supposed to contain complete and verified records of losses of battle units. Ten-day and monthly reports - complete and verified records of all casualties (including non-battle units by Soviet definition). Most of them are only available in a paper form in the archive. Daily records can give you an idea of casualties, but they are on the lower side of complete numbers.
