How to Stay on Track with CGA Annual Filings

Edie Matulka

Friday, October 4, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Foundational

Of the states that require registration to issue gift annuities, 15 also require some sort of annual filing. Whether you are already registered or anticipate doing so, it’s important to understand what is involved in the ongoing reporting. However, equally important is keeping track of deadlines and creating a system for preparing the filings each year. A late or erroneous filing can have serious consequences for your gift annuity program in that state. This session will provide both specific information on requirements and helpful hints on managing the process—useful to those who handle the filings internally and those who outsource some or all of it.

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand context for ongoing state filings.
  2. Review specific details related to filings
  3. Learn how to manage the filing process.
