The battle report states the ratio of damaged received in battle compared to your group's initial combat value. So it's an accurate value and is used when determining other factors such as if your group was bloodied enough or some other requirement to impose an effect.
The attrition values stated within your group after the battle is determined by running thru a complex algorithm that has something like 10 steps to determine which brigades should be lost and what the group's final attrition value should be.
Due to this, the two ratios of battle losses (battle report and group's final attrition) may not sync up 100% all the time. That doesn't mean that the numbers are inaccurate and that you're being cheated somehow by the program because that is certainly not the case.
To keep things simple, go by the ratio that is reported in the battle report which is a pure percentage of battle losses. The brigade/attrition loss ratio by the complex method is weighted by many factors, one of which helps prevent brigades from being killed off (e.g., brigades have an additional buffer added to their experience/toughness value in order to absorb damage which reduces the chances of losing that brigade).
So don't think the game is being inaccurate, the number reported in the battle report is "pure" and the final brigade loss/attrition value is adjusted according to several factors, sometimes in your kingdom's favor of preserving troops.
