Podcasts about accountancy

It's been a dizzying few months since Melanie Lauridsen, the AICPA's vice president–Tax Policy & Advocacy, last appeared on the Journal of Accountancy podcast. In fact, just the past week has been chock full of tax-related developments, mainly in Washington. Reflecting the news, this episode is publishing the same day it was recorded. In the Wednesday morning conversation, Lauridsen details the AICPA perspective on several aspects of the budget bill that could be voted on soon by the full House of Representatives. She goes into detail about the passthrough entity tax/state and local tax deduction, also known as the PTET SALT deduction, and why the AICPA is urging that deduction be preserved. What you'll learn from this episode: ·         The status of the House budget bill. ·         An explanation of the PTET SALT deduction — what it stands for, why it's complex, and why it's the AICPA's “No. 1 priority.” ·         Some of the “wins” in Lauridsen's mind related to Sec. 529 accounts and the Form 1099-K reporting threshold. ·         The top concern from a survey of members just after tax filing season. ·         What Lauridsen means by “fractures.”

Chris Gheysens is chairman and chief executive officer of Wawa, a chain of more than 1,100 convenience stores in nine states across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the U.S. and Washington, D.C. Wawa is a family- and associate-owned, privately held company with more than 45,000 associates serving almost two million customers every day. The company began in New Jersey in the early 1800's as an iron foundry and a cotton and textile mill and moved to Pennsylvania with the opening of a dairy plant in 1902. The original dairy was built in a rural section of Pennsylvania called “Wawa,” which was named by Native Americans to honor a favored game – the Canada goose. As home delivery of dairy declined and supermarkets became more abundant in the early 1960s, the concept to open Wawa convenience stores became a reality with the first in Folsom, Pa., in 1964. Gheysens, who's been with Wawa for more than 27 years, was previously chief financial and administrative officer with responsibility for all financial, legal and human resource functions. Prior to joining Wawa, Gheysens was in the audit practice at Deloitte and Touche, LLP in Philadelphia. A graduate of Saint Augustine Preparatory School in Richland, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Villanova University School of Business and his Master of Business Administration from Saint Joseph's University. Gheysens is a certified public accountant who was awarded an honorary Doctor of Leadership degree and the Beta Gamma Sigma Business Achievement Award from Saint Joseph's University.

Judith van der Hulst is bedrijfseconoom en werkte jarenlang in en rond de accountancysector. Daarnaast was ze actief in de zorg, onder meer via het landelijke programma Tijd voor Verbinding. In deze aflevering vertelt ze wat die twee werelden van elkaar kunnen leren.Ze bespreekt het NBA-programma Beroepscultuur en introduceert het gedachtegoed van Safety II uit de zorg. In plaats van alleen te kijken naar fouten, richt dit zich op wat er in de dagelijkse praktijk wél goed gaat. Volgens Judith is dat precies waar de sleutel ligt tot een gezonde professionele cultuur.Het gesprek gaat over veiligheid op de werkvloer, het belang van een open gesprek en het activeren van de vaak stille meerderheid binnen teams. Ook leiderschap komt aan bod. Niet door nog meer regels, maar door vertrouwen te geven en mensen uit te nodigen hun verantwoordelijkheid te nemen.Judith laat zien dat cultuurverandering geen papieren plan is, maar begint met hoe mensen samenwerken, luisteren en ruimte geven aan elkaar.

April Walker, CPA, CGMA, AICPA & CIMA lead manager–Tax Practice & Ethics, and author John Garrett joined the show to discuss employee engagement in the hybrid and remote era, the importance of sharing and asking about hobbies, and why they are less likely these days to carry business cards to events such as conferences.

A sell-out crowd saw one of the most complete performances from a Gloucester side in recent memory. Unlike some of the more impressive results that we have seen in the George Skivington era (64-0 versus Bath or the hammerings given to Sarries or Newcastle) this was against the 2nd place team in the league who had just come off the back of an 8 try demolition of Chiefs. We dissect the tries, the performances, the strategy and simply how much fun it was to watch! Unfortunately the good news didn't carry over to the balance sheets as Gloucester posted a near £3m loss. Loz uses his Accountancy acumen to run through the specific reasons as we try to understand what English Rugby needs to sort out the financial chaos.

Show Notes Booker T. Washington once said: “An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of complaint.”  A once enslaved man who became an author and speaker in the post-Reconstruction Jim Crow-era South, Washington famously advocated against protest and agitation tactics meant to advance civil rights. Washington's position was that Black Americans should concentrate on economic progress, rather than desegregation efforts.   Washington believed that economic success would advance Black people in American society and protect them from the violence of the Jim Crow era.  However, this wasn't always—or even often—the case.  In a paper titled, “An Inch of Progress: Black Business and Black Accountants Fighting Jim Crow Violence,” researchers from the University of Denver have set out to set the record straight on how economics and accounting actually hurt or benefited Black Americans at the time. In this episode, Emma speaks with Daniels College of Business professor Tony Holder and history professor Kimberly Jones from the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, plus grad student Mayowa Alabi, about their research into the history of racism and accounting. Anthony D. Holder, PhD, CPA (Inactive), is an associate professor at the University of Denver. He has previously taught at Case Western Reserve University, the University of Toledo and the University of Cincinnati. He also spent a semester teaching in Shanghai, China. He earned his BA in Accountancy at Park University, a Master of Accountancy at Wright State University and a PhD in Accountancy at the University of Cincinnati. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Prior to obtaining his PhD, he worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in their auditing and tax departments. Kimberly Jones is an associate professor of history in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Jones studies the experiences of enslaved and free black people across the Atlantic World. Her primary research is centered on the construction of racial identity through medicine and science. Mayowa Alabi is a graduate student in the Daniels College of Business.
