The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and allowed for delayed payment of employer payroll taxes, among other items. The company has reflected the impact of the CARES Act for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 within its Consolidated Financial Statements and such impact was not material to the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The net change in the total valuation allowance between the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 was a decrease of $0.4 million. The change in valuation allowance is related to state tax credits, branch foreign tax credits, capital loss carryforwards, and net operating losses that are expected to expire prior to utilization. As of October 31, 2021, the company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.3 million in foreign jurisdictions, which are comprised of $0.9 million that do not expire and $0.4 million that expire between fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2038. The company also had domestic credit carryforwards of $2.7 million that expire between fiscal 2028 and fiscal 2042. The company considers that $22.3 million of the total undistributed earnings of its foreign operations are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. Should these earnings be distributed in the future in the form of dividends or otherwise, the company may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes, and/or additional federal taxes for currency fluctuations. As of October 31, 2021, the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the company’s investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries, and any withholding, state, or additional federal taxes that may be applied upon any future repatriation, are expected to be immaterial. Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
Unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2020 |  | $ | 2,860 |
Increase as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period |  | 59 |
Decrease as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period |  | (98) |
Increase as a result of tax positions taken during the current period |  | 397 |
Reductions as a result of statute of limitations lapses |  | (105) |
Unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2021 |  | $ | 3,113 |
The company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In addition to the unrecognized tax benefits of $3.1 million, which have been recorded as an other accrued liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2021, the company recorded $1.0 million of accrued interest and penalties as an other accrued liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2021. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2021 are potential benefits of $3.3 million that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for taxable years before fiscal 2017. The company is under audit in certain state jurisdictions and expects various statutes of limitation to expire during the next 12 months. Due to the uncertainty related to the response of taxing authorities, a range of outcomes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
