Gain a better understanding of the Texas unclaimed property laws and reporting requirements and keep your company compliant.
If you are unfamiliar with unclaimed property practices and procedures it can be a very tangled web. States often change their rules and guidelines for reporting and claiming unclaimed property, making the responsibility daunting and very time consuming. You will be provided with the basic tools to research and report your company’s unclaimed property. The most updated state and industry specific information will be presented by James Santivanez, one of the field’s leading experts. Walk through compliance processes, how to enter into voluntary disclosure agreements and how to handle an audit. You will not only be given information, you will be guided through application of the information with test cases and time for questions and answers.
