"I am an ex Revenue Agent, but was not trained in transfer pricing. Nor did I do any cases involving this issue. I have taken a bunch of CPE courses on transfer pricing to learn about the area. This is the first course I took that involved actual problems and issues a taxpayer faces with a company having 2 or more entities in 2 different countries and the problems that can result. The example I refer to was a company having a US and Canadian entity and the transfer pricing issue. Great job in pointing out the problems. The presenter did a great job in presenting both in clarity and content. I hope he will present more webinars, especially in the international area as I have no IRS training there. I think he said he will,but I have had 3 webinars today."Ann, IL
"My experience with transfer pricing was gained when I worked in Corporate settings and I only get involved with one client in current role. This session not only confirmed my basic understanding, it opened me up to new ways to review. I am currently evaluating new opportunities and this session gave me a new area to explore! Thanks to Alex Martin!!"Ronald, CA
