    OK this is what you need to do, since the check was recorded in the cash account for less of the actually value you need to deduct the difference of 570 less 57 (513) to the cash account, and in the journal you need to debit that to the account that was initially affected for 513 and credit cash for 513

    Cash book balance... xxxxxx
    Deduct
    To correct check No.x... 513

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    lets say the affected account was rent expense
    Dr. Rent expense... 513
    Cr.Cash... 513
    To correct check No. x that was uncorrectly recorded.

    Hope this could help you
