WHERE RISK DEVELOPS

Where Escheatment Begins

Unclaimed property often starts as a process gap — not a compliance issue. Without consistent follow-up, unresolved balances can age into reportable liabilities and create unnecessary escheatment exposure.

01

Aged AP Credits

Aged accounts payable credits and unapplied cash.

02

Stale-Dated Checks

Checks that remain outstanding or unresolved over time.

03

Customer Credits

Customer refunds and credits that remain unresolved.

04

Dormant Vendor Balances

Vendor balances that remain inactive without resolution.

05

Outreach & Documentation Gaps

Gaps in follow-up and documentation that allow unresolved liabilities to continue aging.

The opportunity is to act earlier. Identifying these liabilities before they reach reportable status creates more time to investigate, resolve, and document them.

WHAT WE DO

Identify Risk Before It Becomes Reportable

We identify liabilities trending toward escheatment and evaluate the processes allowing them to persist, helping clients focus attention where timing, value, and exposure matter most.

01

Identify Aging Liabilities

Use data-driven analysis to identify balances that may be approaching escheatment-related timelines.

02

Evaluate Processes & Controls

Review the processes and controls that allow unresolved liabilities to remain open or continue aging.

03

Prioritize by Value & Timing

Organize potential exposure based on value and timing so attention can be directed to the most immediate areas of risk.
