PEACC: Your Unclaimed Property Compliance Experts
Property Escheatment And Compliance Consulting (pronounced “Peak”) has been the trusted name in unclaimed property (UP) compliance since 2002.
We help companies—from banks and manufacturers to retailers and service firms—navigate the complex, aggressive landscape of state UP reporting requirements. We pride ourselves on delivering the best solutions with the most economical fees.
Stop Worrying About Fines. Start Achieving Compliance.
Unclaimed property is a serious compliance risk: States are aggressively enforcing laws because it’s a vital revenue source. With an estimated 70% of companies non-compliant or under-compliant, the time to act is now.
Whether you’re a first-time reporter or an experienced holder facing an audit, PEACC offers a solution that fits your company and your bottom line.
How PEACC Solves Your Unclaimed Property Headaches
We offer a total suite of UP compliance services, providing the knowledge, experience, and tools needed to eliminate risk and achieve full compliance.
1. Voluntary Disclosure & Initial Compliance (VDA)
-
The Problem: You’ve never reported, filed sporadically, or know you have past-due property. You are at risk of an immediate audit.
-
The Solution: We guide you through an initial compliance review and assist with Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs). By coming forward voluntarily, we help you alleviate potential fines and penalties for past property and ensure you only report what is legally due—avoiding costly over-reporting.
-
Act Fast: Once selected for an audit, the VDA opportunity is lost. Thousands of audit letters are being issued weekly.
-
2. Audit Defense & Advisory
-
The Problem: You have been selected for a dreaded State or third-party audit, or a “Self-Audit” letter has arrived. Audits can last for years.
-
The Solution: Leverage PEACC’s years of experience and state relationships. We provide reliable and accurate audit defense procedures and recommendations to secure the best possible outcome. Need a second opinion on an existing audit? Call us.
3. Co-Sourced Reporting & Due Diligence
-
The Problem: You have the data, but you lack the expertise or time to file correctly—how, when, where, and in what format?
-
The Solution: We review your files, negate potential audit triggers, and generate all reports in the required NAUPA II electronic formats using proprietary software. We also manage the state-mandated due diligence/search letter generation to ensure guaranteed report acceptance and compliance with all state deadlines.
4. Risk Assessment & Policy Review
-
Cursory UP Review: We recommend a full review of your past reports and procedures every three years, especially after employee turnover, to ensure reporting accuracy and full compliance.
-
Policies and Procedures: Auditors always request a company’s UP policies. We will customize State and State Auditor-standard policies and procedures to eliminate a common audit deficiency.
5. Research, Training & Support
-
Custom Compliance Manuals: Get a user-friendly manual customized to your reporting states, complete with a 24/7 PEACC Compliance Hotline for timely, accurate advice.
-
On-Site Training: Stop wasting your budget on costly individual registration and travel fees. We come on-site to train your entire staff on compliance expectations for one economical price.
-
Compliance Research: Free up your short-staffed team. We perform cost-effective research on complex “grey” areas like B2B exemptions, allowable deductions, and search letter requirements.
