In an ongoing effort to educate finance, accounting, shareholder services, and compliance departments about their companies' unclaimed property risks, The Keane Organization's Unclaimed Property Services Division (UPSD) is offering two unique opportunities to connect directly with the company's subject matter experts. Through November, the firm is presenting a series of Breakfast Roundtables focusing on unclaimed property audit prevention. In addition, an On-line Audit Risk Assessment is being made available to those who are interested in a way to evaluate their company's risk and receive tips on prevention.

"While most people are familiar with the consumer side of unclaimed property, many are unaware of the significant compliance and audit risks it poses for businesses," said Gail Warner, President of Keane UPSD. "Now, as states increase enforcement efforts, companies are looking to understand the risks involved, how to come into compliance, and what they need to prepare if they are audited. Our Breakfast Roundtable series and On-line Audit Risk Assessment offer valuable insight into unclaimed property compliance and how to survive state unclaimed property audits."
The Breakfast Roundtable series, comprised of stops in ten different cities across the country, includes Keane UPSD's subject matter experts, joined by attendees that include CFOs, controllers, tax directors, and other administrators responsible for unclaimed property risk management and compliance. Discussion will focus on industry updates, audit activity, compliance challenges and solutions, and offer counsel on how to prepare for the upcoming reporting season. Keane UPSD's experts will also help attendees evaluate their company's risk of facing and effectively surviving a state unclaimed property audit.
In addition to the complimentary breakfast and two-hour private discussion with Keane specialists, attendees can earn two continuing professional education (CPE) credits for their participation. To register, visit www.HolderAdvocate.com/Roundtable.
