Announcements

Industry professionals are encouraged to participate in the Hot Topic: Unclaimed Property for the Credit and Collection Professionals, Nov. 13 featuring Troy Wangen, managing director in the unclaimed property practice for True Partners Consulting’s Chicago office.

Unclaimed property can be confusing and confounding, but the risk of material liabilities is very real.  Most companies are already aware of unclaimed property and how it arises, but often feel that the rules surrounding unclaimed property are confusing and contradict many of their standard processes and procedures. This webinar, with a focus on the accounts receivable management industry, will address how unclaimed property can arise, identifying and mediating risk associated with unclaimed property, and how to address it so that it can be resolved, or reported, correctly.

There is still time to register for new advanced compliance courses—the first steps toward the new Credit and Collection Compliance Attorney (CCCA) designation—offered by ACA International.
