Corresponds with central Europeans it's said (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

checks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'corresponds with central' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'europeans it's said' is the wordplay.
'europeans' becomes 'czechs'.
'it's said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'czechs' sounds like 'CHECKS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for checks that I've seen before include "Examines in order to determine accuracy, etc." , "Inspects" , "Controls to secure accuracy - may accompany balances" .)
