We can help you discover the value of beginning an AI journey by uncovering specific use cases for your organization and highlighting the advantages and contribution an AI investment can bring.
We look into your organization’s data landscape to see how your data can feed into an AI model to train it and expand its capabilities.
We look at your cloud infrastructure to determine if the organization can support an AI effort and if proper cybersecurity controls are in place.
We look at financial, regulatory and reputational risks that could impact your organization and how to reduce that risk. We make sure you have the right people and processes in place to acquire, store and build
the data in a safe and streamlined way.
We assess your organization’s culture for change, data/AI literacy and where adoption challenges may arise. We work with you to combat any possible issues and communicate new processes to your team.
We help clients develop and implement industry-leading “best practice” policies and procedures. Starting with a high-level diagnostic review to understand current unclaimed property processes, we assess potential unreported, over-reported and under-reported unclaimed property, and then assist with the development and implementation of process improvements and leading practices to avoid future non-compliance and reduce the future risk of significant audit assessments
Policies and procedures

Our team can assist with a quantitative or qualitative analysis of your records, assist with developing effective mitigation strategies, assist with identifying potential unclaimed property liabilities for buyers and sellers during M&A transactions, and assisting with the negotiation and settlement process with states and their auditors, including voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) and other similar settlement program offered.
