Unclaimed Property Consultants and Tax Risk Advisory
In today's environment, even the most sophisticated company is exposed to the risk of either under- or over-reporting its unclaimed property liability. Any inactive property not claimed within one to five years creates a responsibility for the "holder" company, which must remit the unclaimed property to the state.
Duff & Phelps specializes in helping companies proactively manage all of their unclaimed property activities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. By developing a series of tools to help companies gather, track and report unclaimed property of all types and across all industries, we ensure that companies meet, but not exceed, their unclaimed property reporting requirements. One such tool, the Unclaimed Property Portal, is a robust online management tool that provides corporate holders with a real time audit trail of each potentially reportable unclaimed property record.
