us Podcast
PwC's Public policy leader discusses all the goings-on in Washington, and gives her advice to CFOs on what to expect from the new administration.
In our Forecast 2021 podcast series, we’re focused on preparing you for the year ahead by offering insights to help you better understand and manage some of the opportunities and challenges that your company might face—think policy, technology, and other big picture topics. With the new administration hitting the ground running, host Heather Horn sat down with Roz Brooks, PwC’s US Public Policy Leader, to discuss what CFOs can expect this year.
Topics include:
- 0:52 - The senate. The Democratic party took control of the Senate, but what does that control really mean? We discuss how that might impact policy initiatives.
- 9:28 - The first 100 days. Disclosures are going to be high on the new administration's priority list, especially those related to priorities like climate. Roz explains.
- 20:21 - Tax policy. Roz and Heather turn their attention to what to possibly expect on the topic of taxes.
- 23:44 - The SEC. There’s going to be a new chair for the SEC. We share thoughts on what we expect to see on the SEC’s agenda.
- 32:01 - Finding optimism. Time will tell how well government operations and rule-making will progress over the next four years. We close with thoughts on the hope of the two parties working together.
