The goal of this masterclass is to familiarise those individuals who are responsible for transfer pricing (TP) within your organisation with the main principles and practical aspects of TP.
The course covers the processes of designing, implementing and managing your TP positions. It also explains the common technical issues in TP in a practical manner. It focuses on actual situations and how to solve those, referring to theory only when necessary for context. This training will create an understanding that allows you to have better conversations with both the stakeholders in the company and your external advisors, and will help you make better decisions in terms of what is relevant for your company, what can be done in-house, what needs to be outsourced and what you should expect in terms of delivery.
