Christian Plesner Rossing joins CORIT Advisory

Christian Plesner Rossing has joined CORIT Advisory as Technical Advisor on Transfer Pricing.

Christian has co-authored an article on transfer pricing knowledge management in multinational enterprises in International Transfer Pricing Journal, IBFD.

The article discusses transfer pricing knowledge management systems, a neglected topic in the international transfer pricing and tax risk management literature. The paper provides a guiding framework for multinationals seeking to work in a more organized manner with transfer pricing knowledge management, as well as specific ideas for identifying potential weaknesses in current knowledge management practices. These potential weaknesses are important to address, not least due to the recent publication of new OECD guidelines on transfer pricing documentation (BEPS Action 13), accentuating the need for systematic approaches to data and knowledge capture.
