Abandoned Property: Abandoned property refers to the property to which the owner has relinquished all rights. When property is abandoned, the owner gives up the reasonable expectation of privacy concerning it. The person finding the abandoned property is entitled to keep it.
Audit: A formal examination of an organization's or individual's accounts or financial situation
Dormancy Period: Property subject to a state's unclaimed property law is presumed abandoned or unclaimed if the owner fails to take any action evi- dencing a continuing interest in the property for a statutorily defined dormancy period, generally ranging from one year to 15 years.
Intangible Property: Intangible property, also known as incorporeal property, describes something which a person or corporation can have ownership of and can transfer ownership to another person or corporation, but has no physical substance, for example brand identity or knowledge/intellectual property. (en.wikipedia.org)
Tangible Property: Tangible property in law is, literally, anything which can be touched, and includes both real property and personal property (or moveable property), and stands in distinction to intangible property.
Unclaimed Property: Unclaimed property (sometimes referred to as abandoned) refers to accounts in financial institutions and companies that have had no activity generated or contact with the owner for one year or a longer period. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed dividends or payroll checks, refunds, traveler's checks, trust distributions, unredeemed money orders or gift certificates (in some states), insurance payments or refunds and life insurance policies, annuities, certificates of deposit, customer overpayments, utility security deposits, mineral royalty payments, and contents of safe deposit boxes.
Unclaimed Property Audits: Unclaimed Property Audits are an official inspection of an organization's accounts as they relate to unclaimed property and unclaimed property escheatment. Audits now occur more frequently and typically performed by an independent third-party associated with the auditing state or territory.
Vendor: A vendor is a person or business that supplies goods or services to a company. Another term for the vendor is the supplier. In many situations, a company presents the vendor with a purchase order stating the goods or services needed, the price, delivery date, and other terms.
