Spanish term or phrase: girar los cheques pagaderos al mismo
I would like to know if you feel that this is stating: What was the purpose of issuing the checks to Mr. XXXX himself/or to the same Mr. XXXX ???? (Why is his own company issuing checks to him seems to be what this is implying, since he is the owner of several of the companies that are issuing these checks?!?) If not, what might be some other ideas for this??? Really, not a lot of context to help.......

Context:

Cual fue el proposito de girar los cheques pagaderos al mismo (XXXX person)?
R: Fondear las transferencias solicitadas

issue the checks to the same Mr.xxx


Explanation:
That is, if previously it has been mentioned that other checks have been issued to the same Mr.xxx.

checks payable to himself would usualy be expressed as : pagaderos a sí mismo, not al mismo.
