Achieving Unclaimed Property Compliance
Best Practices for the Banking Industry
Webinar  February 10, 2015, 2:30-4:30 PM
Get ready for the fall escheat reporting season! When unclaimed property is not correctly managed, the risk of audits, fines and
penalties becomes a reality. This webinar will help you better manage and control this important compliance responsibility.
The normal, everyday operation of your institution results in the generation of unclaimed financial obligations, where customer accounts
that are not properly tracked and checks that are not cashed or remain
outstanding, may become reportable as unclaimed property.
When unclaimed property obligations are not correctly aged, managed
and reported, the risk of state audits, subsequent fines and penalties
become a distinct reality. Unclaimed property compliance is especially
critical for financial institutions because it typically impacts their number
one asset: customer relationships. There are more than 100 property
types and 54 legal jurisdictions where you may have obligation to file
an unclaimed property report.
Though it might initially seem overly complex and overwhelming,
there are some basic steps that you can take to help your institution
become more compliant with the laws. This webinar provides an
overview of the law and basic tips to better manage and control this
important compliance responsibility. The program is being presented
at the national level and does not reflect any particular state’s law.
Highlights
 History and background of the law
 Where and how to file your reports
 Property types applicable to the law
 Due diligence requirements
Speakers
Maureen Ferrari, Vice President of Operations, Keane and Barbara
Rice, State Bank Compliance Liaison, Keane.
