A practical introduction to identifying related parties, transactions, agreements, and data required for an initial assessment.

Transfer Pricing7 min

A transfer pricing assessment begins by understanding the group structure and the nature of relationships and transactions, rather than by preparing a single form. Final requirements vary according to the organization's circumstances and applicable regulations.

Map the Ownership & Relationship Structure

Identify related companies and individuals, ownership percentages, and each party's position within the group.

Identify Transactions

Compile related-party transactions by type, value, counterparty, and period, such as services, financing, goods, and intangible assets.

Collect Contracts & Policies

Provide agreements, pricing policies, cost-allocation mechanisms, and correspondence explaining the commercial purpose of the transaction.

Understand Functions & Risks

Document what each party contributes, the assets it uses, and the risks it actually assumes.

Link Financial Data

Transaction values should be reconcilable to financial statements, accounting records, and related disclosures.
