Quick Summary
A cheque issued in September 2019, remaining unpresented by June 2020, is considered stale, especially as the company's accounting year ends on December 31st. During an ongoing annual audit, it's confirmed to be stale. The standard accounting treatment involves reversing the original entry.

It is definitely a stale cheque.

Just reverse the Original entry
