Escheat Compliance

Escheat is the concept that property should not be allowed to go unclaimed. For businesses, this means any funds or other assets that go unclaimed by employees, vendors or any other entity could be subject to penalties. Being found in noncompliance with state laws regarding escheat also could result in an audit. Having an automated software solution to track and report unclaimed property can ensure that your enterprise remains in compliance with all the relevant requirements and prevent costly issues.
