Unclaimed Property Compliance: Best Practices for Post-Pandemic Escheatment
Rapidly changing escheatment laws make unclaimed property a constant struggle for businesses, especially as cash-strapped states crack down on collections and audits.
This is a real challenge any year, but it takes on additional urgency in 2020, as America emerges from a global health pandemic and businesses strive for a return to “normalcy.”
Unprecedented lay-offs and business failures, on one hand, and extraordinary federal relief and recovery programs on the other - have combined to create accounting nightmares. Inevitably, unclaimed funds fall into the mix.
With differing timelines and individual state regulations – escheatment post-pandemic is far from simple.
