-
Supports audit and compliance. sequential check number helps auditors and accountants verify the integrity of the check register. Gaps or duplicate numbers are red flags in audits.
-
Reduces human error. Manually entering check numbers can lead to typos, duplicates, and skipped numbers. Auto-incrementing reduces these risks by managing check numbers consistently.
-
Simplifies printing. When printing a batch of checks, auto-incrementing ensures each check has the correct number without needing manual intervention between checks.

If your last check was $1056, then the next check automatically becomes #1057, then #1058, and so on.
