Opening a New Bank Account

Why do I have to prove to the bank how much I earn by providing pay
slips to open an account? I told the bank that I don't have pay slips
as I am self employed so they want to see two years audited accounts.
I work through a limited company so the accounts wont show how much I
earn and there is no requirement for audited accounts anyway.
Just too bad I suppose if I am a student, retired, house husbond or
heavens above, unemployed.
