My Tier 2 has been recently refused due to insufficient maintenance funds and I have a chance to go through an administrative review. However, can I -at this point- submit a different bank statement all together? Any advice on how to proceed will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks!

No as this evidence wasn't available when the Case Worker made their decision on your application. The purpose of an AR is to determine whether the Case Worker made an error based on the evidence submitted at the time.

So re-applying is the safer track to follow?!

Yes as long as you're still within the 14 day window.

Sorry to bother you with all my questions but why 14 days if I have to re-apply again and not doing an AR?

Due to the 28 day grace period retaining Section 3c leave between applications having been reduced to 14 days in Nov 2016.

Does that have to do with having the same certificate of sponsor? what if I get a new one to apply with?

After an application is refused you only have 14 days in which to submit another application if the previous visa has expired and you are without valid leave.

Sorry if I was not clear about the whole situation; but my application was to transfer from Tier 4 to Tier 2 and my current Tier 4 will expire on 31 March 2017. Do you think this changes anything about my situation - I mean the 14 days and re-applying, etc?

In which case you need to submit a new application before your Tier 4 visa expires.

No, as long as you apply before your current visa expires. Very important to state accurate facts when posting to avoid confusion please.
