Searchable Cheque Archive

Search cheques by their content, not by how they were tagged

Chequedb builds an audit-friendly archive where every cheque image becomes a structured record. Search by payee, amount, cheque number, date, status, exception, linked invoice, user action, or extracted field without guessing folder names.

Search beyond filenames, folders, and manual tags

A normal document archive shows what someone named a file. A searchable cheque archive lets you query actual cheque content, then narrow by exception status, date range, lifecycle state, and accounting link.

Every cheque for Vendor X in Q4 above 500,000 with image evidence.
All incoming cheques received this week but not deposited.
Issued cheques outstanding for more than 45 days.
Records where numeric amount and written amount do not match.
Cheques changed after approval, including who changed what.
Returned or bounced cheques by customer, branch, project, or period.

Structured fields

Index payee, drawer, date, cheque number, bank, amount, memo, MICR or codeline data, and extracted handwriting where available.

Lifecycle history

Track received, deposited, cleared, returned, issued, delivered, stopped, voided, outstanding, and reconciled states.

Exception search

Find duplicates, stale or post-dated cheques, low-confidence OCR, missing invoices, missing endorsements, and unusual payee patterns.

Audit packages

Export front/back images, extracted fields, approvals, corrections, reconciliation status, notes, and linked accounting records.

The archive becomes a control surface

When cheque fields are structured, finance teams can monitor outstanding items, catch duplicates, reconcile faster, and prepare audit evidence while the workflow is happening instead of rebuilding context at year-end.

  • Search exact fields and fuzzy payee names.
  • Filter by status, exception, confidence, owner, branch, or linked record.
  • Preserve before-and-after corrections instead of overwriting evidence.
  • Route low-confidence or suspicious records to review queues.
  • Give auditors read-only access to the evidence trail.
From archive to database

Build an archive your finance team can actually query

Start by capturing and extracting cheque data. Then turn every cheque into a searchable record that is monitorable, linked to accounting, and ready for reconciliation or audit.
