 Hello, in this lecture we will define check. According to fundamental accounting principles, while 22nd edition, the definition of check is document signed by a depositor, instructing the bank to pay a specific amount to a designated recipient. When we look at a check, we can see a couple features of the check. Usually we're going to have a pre-numbered check number here as basically an internal control. We will then have, of course, the date of the check. It's going to be paid to the order of. This is going to be the recipient of the check who can then deposit that check and the bank should redeem the check. We then have the amount that we will put here. And then, of course, we're going to write out the dollar amount as well. There's a difference between the amount here and the written amount. We usually go by the written amount. And then we typically will have the signature here. And of course, on the deposit of the check, we will have the signature of the person depositing the check on the back of the document.
