For an accounting firm or chartered accountant in Morocco, managing cheques is an unavoidable daily reality: issuing supplier cheques on behalf of a client, handling cheque books for multiple companies simultaneously, maintaining a history by client, bank and amount without mixing up files. This particular responsibility — handling other people's payments — demands a rigour far beyond what manual filling or a simple word processor can offer. A firm that prints its clients' cheques by hand is exposed to amount errors, illegible cheques, non-existent traceability, and real reputational risk in the event of a dispute. Easy Print (easyprint.crystalit.ma), the multi-bank cheque printing software developed free of charge by CRYSTAL IT in Rabat with over 20 years of experience serving Moroccan businesses, was designed precisely to meet this need: printing cheques for multiple clients, with cheque books from different banks, in a single centralised, free tool with a complete history per client. This guide explains the specific challenges accounting firms face in cheque management, the Easy Print features that address them, and how to integrate it into a complete accounting management workflow with Crystal ERP (erp.crystalit.ma).
The Accounting Firm and Its Clients' Cheque Management
An accounting firm manages the finances of several client companies simultaneously, and each may hold cheque books in different banks — Attijariwafa Bank, CIH Bank, BMCE, Banque Populaire, BMCI. To issue a cheque on behalf of one of these companies, the file manager must locate the correct cheque book, fill in the cheque by hand with all the required information (amount in figures and in words, payee, date, place), obtain the authorised signatory's approval, and keep a copy in the file. Multiplied across ten or twenty clients, this process represents a significant volume of manual work, with just as many opportunities for error: an illegible amount, a misspelled payee name, a blank space before the amount that leaves the door open to alteration.
Beyond time and errors, the manual management of cheques in a firm creates a traceability problem that becomes critical in the event of a dispute. If a client contests a payment made on their behalf, the firm must immediately produce proof of the cheque issued: amount, payee, date, cheque number. A paper register or an informally maintained spreadsheet will not withstand this scrutiny. Good cheque management in a firm (Cheque Management in Morocco) is not just a question of operational efficiency: it is professional and reputational protection for the firm itself.
- Multiple cheque books: each client may hold accounts at different banks with distinct cheque formats — a single tool must handle all of them.
- Filling errors: incorrect amount in words, blank space before the amount, truncated payee name — risks amplified by the repetition of operations.
- Insufficient traceability: without a digital record per client and per cheque, it is impossible to quickly justify a payment made on behalf of a third party.
- Risk of mixing up files: without centralised management, a client's cheque may be issued on another client's cheque book, with potentially serious consequences.
- Undervalued workload: filling cheques by hand is a time-consuming task that adds no value to the firm.
Easy Print in Multi-Client Mode: A Free Tool for All Your Cheque Books
Easy Print (easyprint.crystalit.ma) solves the multi-client management challenge through a simple approach: you create a profile in the software for each client, with their bank accounts and associated cheque formats. To issue a cheque, you select the client, choose the relevant bank account, enter the amount and payee — Easy Print automatically fills in all the fields on the physical cheque, including the amount in words, the date and the place, with the precise alignment required by each bank's format. The consistency between the amount in figures and in words is verified automatically, blank spaces are protected, and the printed cheque is legible and clean, whatever volumes are processed.
The multi-bank dimension is particularly valuable for firms managing clients based at different institutions. Easy Print incorporates the formats of all major Moroccan banks without the file manager having to manually configure margins and field positions for each one. Switching between a client and a bank in Easy Print takes a few seconds — the time to select the relevant profile in the interface, far less than locating the right cheque book and filling it in by hand. For firms not yet using Easy Print, the general presentation article (Cheque printing software in Morocco: save time with Easy Print) explains all the features and the free download procedure.
- Profile per client: each client company has its own profile in Easy Print with its bank accounts and associated cheque formats.
- Natively multi-bank: Attijariwafa Bank, CIH, BMCE, Banque Populaire, BMCI and others — formats are built in, no manual configuration needed.
- Unified entry: amount, payee, date — a single form, and all fields on the physical cheque are filled in automatically.
- Anti-alteration protection: blank spaces sealed, automatic consistency check between amount in figures and in words, print alignment on the physical cheque.
- 100% free software: Easy Print is available with no subscription or licence fees at easyprint.crystalit.ma.
Traceability and Security: A Non-Negotiable for Accounting Firms
Traceability lies at the heart of the added value an accounting firm provides: every transaction carried out on a client's behalf must be justifiable at any time. Easy Print serves as the digital register of every printed cheque: print date, client, bank, amount, payee — all this information is recorded automatically for each cheque, searchable, filterable by client or period, and exportable when needed. This register is a clear improvement over cheque book stubs or entries in an informally maintained spreadsheet, and it cannot be altered retroactively: each print is a dated record.
Securing cheques against fraud is a topic Moroccan accounting firms can no longer ignore. A poorly filled cheque — with blank spaces around the amount or an abbreviated payee — is an easy target for falsification techniques such as chemical washing or mechanical alteration, described in our dedicated guide (Cheque Fraud in Moroccan Businesses). For a firm that issues cheques on behalf of clients, the consequences of a forged cheque are doubly serious: financial loss for the client and liability engaged for the firm. Easy Print eliminates these risks at source by printing complete cheques with no exploitable spaces, with a secure layout that makes any alteration immediately detectable.
- Complete digital history: every printed cheque is automatically recorded with all its metadata — date, client, bank, payee, amount.
- Filtering by client: retrieve in seconds all cheques issued for a given client over a defined period.
- Anti-forgery protection: cheques fully completed with no blank spaces, automatic consistency between amount in figures and in words.
- Immediate justification in case of dispute: the Easy Print history is the first piece of evidence produced when a client or third party challenges a payment.
- Searchable audit trail: the Easy Print print log forms a record for any internal or external review of the firm.
From Printing to Accounting Entry: Integrating Cheques into Client Management
For an accounting firm using Crystal ERP (erp.crystalit.ma) for its clients' accounting management, Easy Print fits naturally into the payment processing workflow. Each cheque issued via Easy Print can be immediately recorded in Crystal ERP with the corresponding accounting entry — the client's supplier account, expense account or VAT account as appropriate. This dual recording eliminates re-entry and ensures that the client's accounting balance reflects in real time the payments made on their behalf. For firms managing their clients' monthly accounting in Crystal ERP (Accounting firm software in Morocco), this integration translates directly into time saved on each file.
Bank reconciliation is the second step where the synergy between Easy Print and Crystal ERP becomes visible. Each cheque recorded in Easy Print has a number and an amount that allow it to be identified precisely in the client's bank statement. Crystal ERP uses this information to automatically propose the matching of corresponding bank transactions (Automatic Bank Reconciliation in Morocco): on receipt of the statement, each debited cheque is reconciled with its original accounting entry without manual searching. For client companies managing their own cash flow, this structured workflow provides a reliable position at all times, preventing the issue of cheques without sufficient funds — a criminal offence in Morocco.
- Immediate recording in Crystal ERP: each Easy Print cheque is posted to the client's supplier account and expense account without re-entry.
- Automatic bank reconciliation: Crystal ERP identifies each debited cheque by its amount and number and proposes automatic matching.
- Tracking cheques in transit: cheques issued but not yet debited remain visible in a dedicated suspense account for a reliable cash position.
- Multi-client management in one ERP: Crystal ERP manages the accounting of multiple client companies in a single environment with separate access rights per file.
- Reporting by client: payment status by supplier, suspense account balances, reconciliation — available per client file in real time.
Setting Up Easy Print in an Accounting Firm: Approach and Expected Gains
Adopting Easy Print in an accounting firm requires no investment or organisational transformation: the software is free, downloadable in a few minutes from easyprint.crystalit.ma, and easy to get started with. The recommended approach for a firm is as follows. First, create a profile for each active client that requires cheque issuance, with their bank accounts and corresponding cheque formats. Then test printing on plain paper to verify the alignment before using physical cheque forms. Finally, integrate Easy Print into the daily workflow for relevant files: once a cheque payment is approved for a client, the cheque is printed from Easy Print before being signed and handed over.
The gains expected for a Moroccan accounting firm are measurable from the very first weeks. The first gain is time: eliminating manual cheque filling reduces processing time per cheque from several minutes to a few seconds. The second gain is quality: no amount errors, no illegible cheques, no misspelled payee names. The third gain is peace of mind: a history searchable at any time answers any internal or external justification request. For firms already using Crystal ERP for client management, the print → accounting entry → reconciliation workflow becomes continuous with no interruption or re-entry — a differentiating argument for clients evaluating their firm's rigour.
- Operational within one hour: free download, client profile creation, print test — ready to use the same day.
- Immediate time savings: a few seconds per printed cheque versus several minutes for a manually filled one.
- Zero printing errors: amount, payee, date — all fields are verified and formatted by the software before printing.
- Permanent history per client: each printed cheque stays in Easy Print indefinitely, accessible by client, date or amount.
- Quality argument for clients: complete traceability of payments made on the client's behalf is proof of professionalism and rigour.
