A cheque that is over a year old has not been cashed and the vendor is not reachable.   How do I void a cheque from the prior period.

Don't Void it; offset it with a Deposit entry dated current, for whatever you need that will be the reversal of that entry.

    "this doesn't work for a check in a prior, closed, audited period"

    This, What part, doesn't work?

    You make your own offsetting entry and you control Everything about it. Example: For the prior fiscal year, you might need to post to Equity for Prior Year Adjustment.
