Action Plan, a surge in risk and compliance requirements

2. Establish and develop a proactive transfer pricing
strategy to improve tax efficiency for your business
Managing transfer pricing risks has become more
critical than ever in an increasingly transparent
business environment.
The increasing attention on transfer pricing from around the world has
brought about an era of increased scrutiny on multinational companies’
transfer pricing operations. Consequently, new rules and guidelines
have pushed for an organisational imperative to apply and enforce
transfer pricing policies effectively to avert far-reaching implications. With
government bodies and regulators more determined than ever to crack
down on tax leaks, it is essential for multinationals investing in and out of
Asia Pacific to intensify their efforts to meet compliance demands.
Achieve a solid understanding of current and forthcoming transfer
pricing regulations to ensure tax efficiency and remain compliant.
The Transfer Pricing Summit Asia is a premier two-day forum
bringing together tax and finance leaders to share strategies pertaining
to transfer pricing challenges and trends. Gain insights on the latest
developments on transfer pricing regulations, planning, documentation
and transfer pricing risk management.
You will benefit from industry best practices, leverage on shared
experiences and learn how transfer pricing implementation challenges
are being managed within some of the largest multinational companies.
