This is a form you can use to keep track internally of any research necessary to identify whether unused credit on your A/R are, in fact, unclaimed property.

This template outlines several steps that should be taken when researching potential unclaimed property on your books. The focus, of course, is on credits sitting on A/R.

The order of steps taken is important, and it is important to be very thorough and systematic in this task.

• First, it's illegal to keep credits that aren't yours.
• Second, you sure as heck don't want to send checks to either a customer or the government if you don't absolutely have to.

       This specifies the steps that staff must take to properly take care of this function and creates a record.
