   If the post dated checks are actually in the possession of vendors for services received I would record them as being disbursed.
   
   Debit Expense
   Credit Cash in Bank
   
   If reconciling the bank statement then they would be listed as outstanding checks.

   I recommend that you adjust all post dated checks beyond the month of preparation of financial staements. This is because that even though you have issued the checks, your suppliers cannot present them to the bank as payment for your account within the period. Therefore, in my opinion, it is just right to recognize the liabiltity account for the period assuming that you have entered the checks already in your cash disbursements book.
   
   Entry per CDB:
   Accounts Payable XXX
   Cash in Bank XXX
   To record check payment.
   
   Adjusting Entry:
   Cash in Bank XXX
   Accounts Payable XXX
   To adust entries for post dated checks.
   
   Im assuming that youn are using accrual basis of account or voucher system.
