Convey Announces New Relationships with ControlScan and Comdata Corporation

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Convey Compliance Systems has entered into two new relationships to expand availability of its tax information reporting solutions to transportation and payment solutions markets.

Convey is excited to be working with Comdata, a leader in electronic payment innovation, and ControlScan, which offers compliance solutions to the Payment Card Industry (PCI), because of their unique positions in their respective markets. The partnerships will introduce Convey's tax information reporting solutions to businesses that have been asking for more help with their tax reporting obligations.

Troy Thibodeau, Executive Vice President at Convey, sees great potential in opening up Convey to two new industries facing a maze of tax reporting regulations: "Through our new partner relationships, more businesses will now be able to save time and money through automating information reporting compliance activities," he said. "These businesses will be able to rest assured they are prepared to handle a constantly changing set of tax reporting regulatory changes with efficiency."

For ControlScan's clients, merchant acquirers, tax regulation requirements have become even more pressing in 2011. Starting this year, all those who handle card payment transfers must adhere to the IRS' "Section 6050W" code that requires that 3rd party settled payments to merchants be reported, significantly increasing the tax information reporting demands on acquirers.

"Our partnership with Convey, a 25 year old company with staff dedicated 100 percent to tax compliance and reporting, greatly reduces the impact of tax regulation on our acquirer customers," said Joan Herbig, CEO, ControlScan. "Paired with our guidance through PCI compliance and security issues, acquirers and the merchants they serve can focus more on business and services and less on the ever-changing and increasingly-demanding regulatory landscape."

Comdata will be referring business to Convey from the accounts payable departments of companies it serves within fleet, construction, retail, hospitality and other industries. "Comdata strives to help our customers maximize efficiency. Extending Convey's solutions for tax information reporting is another value-added benefit we are excited to offer," said Randy Morgan, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Comdata.
