Sometimes checks are entered but aren't printed right away. Tracking those checks is important for both accounting accuracy and internal controls.
Why it's important
1. Prevent missed payments.
If someone entered a check but didn't actually print it, the payee won't get paid.
Finding unprinted checks helps ensure you don't overlook obligations.
2. Catch data entry in progress.
Staff may start entering a check, get interrupted, and forget to come back and print it.
The unprinted check still sits in the system and needs to be resolved.
3. Reconcile with bank/general ledger.
A check entered but not printed won't appear in bank reconciliation or in circulation.
Finding unprinted checks ensures your records don't show "phantom" checks that were never issued.
4. Security and internal control.
It's risky to have unprinted checks lingering because they represent incomplete transactions.
Reviewing them lets you either finish printing or delete/void them before posting to the general ledger.
