Building Resilient Unclaimed Property Compliance Ahead of the Audit Letter

Is Your Company Ready for the Next Audit?

State audits on unclaimed property are escalating. Unlike IRS audits, states can dig 10–20 years into your records, and missing documentation can quickly turn into seven- or eight-figure liabilities. Auditors are also getting more aggressive, often using contingency-based “bounty hunters.” Once one state finds a gap, others quickly follow, multiplying risk and complexity.

It’s no longer if you’ll be audited…it’s when. This playbook gives you a clear framework for proactive audit readiness, including:

• Why unclaimed property audits are escalating in the energy sector
• How estimation methods work—and how to defend against them
• Documentation gaps that trigger multi-state investigations
• Controls, data governance, and processes to strengthen readiness
• Tips to prepare and align your teams ahead of an audit
• How to mitigate risk with M&A best practices

Lack of readiness is a strategic business risk that can destabilize balance sheets, slow operations, and undermine credibility.
