Typical VDA Terms Pros and Cons of a VDA Review of Specific States VDA Programs Is a VDA Appropriate for Your Company? Typical Formal VDA Steps Key Points Why VDAs An approach to get into compliance while mitigating risks and managing liabilities Characteristics of a company that may benefit from a VDA First-time reporter Reported some but not all property types Reported in some but not all states Recent acquisition 2
3 What is a VDA? Often called Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) As the term indicates, it is a voluntary process through which a company reports past due unclaimed property Signed contractual agreement Self review of certain books and records for an agreed period of time Requires evaluation of all potential areas of unclaimed property including third-party-administered programs Promised future compliance VDAs (formal or informal) are available in most states, although the process varies by state Common VDA Terms Lookback the period of time that will be covered by the VDA Interest and penalty Timeframe to complete the process Not under audit or notified of audit May be limited to non-filer Confidentiality State may reserve right to audit submission for a period of time Agreement can be voided if representations or liability calculated is proved to be fraudulent Pros and Cons of a VDA Pros Waiver of penalties and/or interest Limited lookback Potential closure of periods to audit Control over the self-review process (versus an audit) Cons May require significant company (or external) resources to complete VDA requirements in allowed time State may pierce agreement (e.g., still audit) if any terms are not met Prospective reporting/compliance requirement now exists (negative reporting states) 3
4 State-Specific VDAs It s All About Formality and Complexity States with Formal, More Complex Programs Massachusetts Complete self audit for any/all property types/records for 9 Report Years Complete report package, including detailed written narrative report of all the steps, procedures, and records, and submit to state for review Do not submit filing or payment until report package is accepted by state If rejected, it is possible to come to agreement with the state on additional requirements for acceptance Terms Abatement of interest and penalties; state will not waive right to audit States with Formal, More Complex Programs New Jersey Submit letter via mail requesting VDA participation, including Power of Attorney State will review request and provide acceptance Holder to execute VDA and include a report package which will include detailed methodology report with supporting schedules for 10 Report Years Do not submit filing or payment until report package is accepted by state Timing Per Agreement, process should be completed within 30 days from its signing; however, the state typically allows for 6 months before requiring any formal request for an extension Terms Abatement of penalties; one time interest charge at rate of 2.33%; waiver of audit rights on reported property for reported periods 4
5 States with Formal, More Complex Programs New York Submit original signed VCA and request for participation to the state Signed VCA will be returned by the state if accepted into Program Lookback to issue year 1992 Report package must include detailed methodology report and supporting schedules State will typically request Excel detail of all items (for all states) of unclaimed property evaluated in self-review, including resolved items, to confirm all New York-sourced property is included State will typically request supporting documentation proving the remediation of a sample of New York-addressed property to confirm remediation was sufficient Management representation letter attesting to available records is typically requested Timing Report package due within 6 months of state signing VCA; written requests must be submitted to obtain extensions Terms Abatement of interest and penalties; state reserves right to audit holder within two years from the later of the date of the VDA or date of payment Florida Complete, execute and return the VDA and Holder Information Form via Upon receipt of required information, the Bureau of Unclaimed Property will review and make approval determination If approved, agreement will be signed and a Final Order will be entered by the department binding the department and the holder to the terms and conditions of the agreement If not approved, a letter will be sent to the holder explaining the reason(s) for disallowance Request a UPID (Unclaimed Property Identification Number) from the state Holder s UPID and FEIN is required to create a DFS-UP-111 State Cover Form on the state s website Timing Within 3 months of the date of the Final Order, the holder is obligated to submit a detailed plan to the Bureau of Unclaimed Property Terms 10 report year lookback; waiver of interest and penalties; state reserves right to audit Georgia Submit VCA participation request via State will send VCA Submit a brief summary of work performed and basic holder information Submit reporting package Executed VDA will be returned by state Terms 10 report-year lookback; waiver of interest and penalties; state reserves right to audit 5

Company risk tolerance level Does the company want to risk an audit? The lookback period may be longer under an audit versus VDA New Jersey s audit period is 16 report years vs. 10 years for VDA Delaware audit period is 28 report years (as of March 1, 2014) if the audit is completed by June 30, 2015 (depending on when the audit began) vs. 16 years for VDA (under the Secretary of State VDA program if signed after June 30, 2013 but before June 30, 2014) 7
8 Is a VDA Appropriate? Holder disclosure may be required to participate in the program Full disclosure is required for all potential property, not just for a few property types Time constraints process must be completed within a specific timeframe after the agreement is signed Holder must determine at what point they want to initiate the VDA process What level of resources (internal and external) is available to be committed to the process Extended self-review period may result in audit Typical Formal VDA Steps Administratively assemble the team (internal and external) that will be involved in the process Project lead All impacted functions Accounts Payable Payroll Accounts Receivable IT Legal Tax Typical Formal VDA Steps Determine which entities will be included in the VDA Conduct interviews to develop an understanding of the company s business operations, state(s) of incorporation, accounting policies and procedures Obtain copy of record retention policies to understand record availability Evaluate available record format and accessibility Electronic Paper Onsite vs. offsite Identify key states and VDA requirements Incorporation Headquarters Presence in the state Lookback period Time to complete VDA Due diligence requirement 8
9 Typical Formal VDA Steps Obtain agreement and submit for legal department review Some states are reluctant to make changes to their standard agreement Execute VDA or apply for participation in the program for key states Note date VDA package is due Make sure due diligence requirements are considered in light of the VDA package due date Some states will grant extensions Obtain detailed records Chart of accounts Trial balance Outstanding checklists Void check listings Bank reconciliations Aged credit balance reports Journal entries Typical Formal VDA Steps Conduct detailed analysis to identify potential dormant items Identify and apply mitigation arguments Seek state input on questionable issues Calculate liability by property type, state, and year This will be discussed in detail in the next session Determine whether VDA should be pursued in additional states Conduct required due diligence Revise calculated liability based on due diligence responses Prepare liability calculation methodology report Typical Formal VDA Steps Assemble VDA workpapers Submit VDA package in the required format by the due date (or extended due date) Some states will void the VDA if the VDA package is not submitted in a timely manner Many states will not accept payment until after the information submitted is reviewed and agreed to by the state State review may take several months 9
10 Typical Formal VDA Process During the review process some states request additional documentation or clarification Once agreement is reached, some states require the preparation of an actual report listing all past due property Depending on when the process is completed, the state may require the inclusion of an additional year of property Some states require submittal of written unclaimed property compliance policy and procedures to ensure the company has a process in place to comply going forward Payment based on the final agreed-upon amount A letter may be issued requesting payment within 30 days Electronic payment may be required Key Points Keep state apprised during the self-review process Avoid aggressive reporting positions Disclose where records are limited Negotiate and agree on assumptions If under audit in a non-vda state consider implications of the VDA positions taken Retain all records used to develop the VDA calculated liability, the executed agreement, any demand for payment or other documentation, and records demonstrating payment was made (e.g., copy of cashed check) File on time and stay in compliance Use findings from the VDA to institute/augment compliance process VDAs can be a beneficial way to get into compliance BUT do it right!
