In this course you will learn about functional analysis and transfer pricing methods.

(This course is the continuation of the "Introduction to International Transfer Pricing" course).
Once you familiarize yourself with transfer pricing basics, a lot of practical questions pop up:
• How to do the transfer pricing analysis? • What is the functional analysis and why is it necessary? • How to connect the functional analysis and transfer pricing methods? • What is a "tested party" and how to select it? • What are transfer pricing methods, and how to choose and apply the proper one?
The course will be useful for everyone interested in the transfer pricing topic - if you have to deal with cross-border transactions, need to review tax documentation, draft intercompany contracts or even review transfer pricing documentation prepared by external consultants!

The book brings together complex transfer pricing issues in various scenarios and provides more than 60 practical cases and examples. It also includes a discussion about recent trends in the transfer pricing world, including the debate on the taxation of the digital economy and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for transfer pricing.

I am an international tax professional with more than seven years' experience in transfer pricing. I started my career at KPMG and moved to Royal Dutch Shell in 2016. Currently, I manage the team supporting the MNE's transfer pricing matters worldwide, including transfer pricing documentation, audits, and APAs. I often lecture on transfer pricing. I have been delivering specialized seminars and lectures since 2014 and have developed several onboarding programs for new colleagues with different backgrounds. In 2020, I wrote a book on transfer pricing to help students with understanding this exciting area of international tax. I also created a comprehensive transfer pricing course under the brand of StarTax Education. www.startaxed.com
Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
