    Change for the better: How your attitude can make all the difference

    Instead of worrying about failure when undergoing a change initiative, why not ask, “What happens if we succeed?” That is summarized sentiment from a discussion with Al Dea, admittedly a glass-half-full guy, on the Journal of Accountancy podcast. Dea, a leadership development consultant and founder of the organization The Edge of Work, is the keynote speaker at the Aug. 12–14 Governmental Accounting and Auditing Update Conference. In this episode, Dea explores pain points for dealing with almost constant change, how the last five years have affected our ability to manage change, and more. The virtual conference has an early-bird discount of $150 for attendees who register by Saturday. What you’ll learn from this episode: ·         Why humans tend to seek a “steady state.” ·         One exercise Dea recommends for professionals worried about what change might bring. ·         Why it sometimes may be impossible to have a playbook or manual for a change initiative. ·         The concept of being “sturdy” for others and how it can make a difference amid volatility. ·         Why it’s OK to not have all the answers for how to navigate change.

    A trailblazing CPA on managing a merger and why it’s OK to lose clients

    Jody Grunden, CPA, stands out for more than his brightly colored Hawaiian shirts at accounting conferences and events.

Hint: It’s not in delivering financial statements to clients.

    Why the PTET SALT deduction is the AICPA’s ‘No. 1 priority’

    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 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.”
