When a post-dated cheque is issued, the company records it as a liability until the date on the cheque. The journal entry to record the issuance of a post-dated cheque involves crediting the bank account (decreasing cash) and debiting a liability account such as "Post-Dated Cheques Payable." On the date the cheque is cashed, the company will reverse the initial entry by debiting "Post-Dated Cheques Payable" and crediting the bank account. This ensures accurate tracking of outstanding liabilities and cash flow.
