Concerned about unclaimed property law compliance?
- Does your company's bank reconciliation list outstanding checks but there are no procedures to properly age and escheat the checks are required by state laws?
- Does your company issue gift cards and/or certificates and you are mesmerized by the hodge-podge of state unclaimed property laws and court cases pertaining to such items?
- Did your company recently receive a state audit notice or penalty assessment?
- Did a merger of your company with another result in conflicting unclaimed property compliance procedures and/or compliance history?
- Has your company “downsized” and you need a more cost effective, less time-consuming solution for performing the annual due diligence and reporting required by state unclaimed property laws?
- Is there a significant number of shareholders in your records who did not exchange or tender their shares even after being notified to do so because of a merger?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions or just want to compare your current “in-house” annual compliance solution to outsourcing these functions, you have come to the right place!
