As states more aggressively push the limits of unclaimed property laws as a means to generate revenue, it's becoming more difficult for organizations to keep up with rapidly changing requirements.
 
To help them stay current and avoid escheatment and associated audits, organizations are increasingly looking to experts to assess their compliance and make recommendations for mitigating future risk.
