What happens if a holder does NOT report unclaimed property?
A holder who fails to report, pay or deliver property within the time prescribed by law, or fails to perform duties required by this law, such as due diligence, will be subject to all penalties under G.S. 116B-77. This could include a daily interest penalty, a $1,000 civil penalty each day the report is withheld, plus 25% of the value of any property that should have been reported. Also a holder who fails to report may be a likely audit candidate.
