Technical Workshops (Subject to Change)Monday, 16 June 2025

This hands-on workshop gives busy tax and TP specialists the tools to stay ahead of audits with efficient and proactive strategies. Learn how to identify red flags, manage different types of audits, and prioritize the highest-risk areas. We’ll cover practical documentation techniques that meet global compliance standards - without unnecessary complexity. Through case studies and interactive sessions, you’ll gain real-world insights, streamlined processes, and usable templates to manage risks and respond with confidence. Walk away with tools and insights of the recent developments in TP audits to strengthen your audit defence, improve documentation, and build a scalable, compliant TP framework.

In today’s climate of heightened global tax uncertainty - driven by evolving OECD guidelines, increased audit activity, geopolitical instability and the push for greater transparency - relying on APAs and MAPs is more critical than ever. These mechanisms can offer multinationals a pathway to stability amid regulatory and economic volatility when used appropriately and this workshop session will therefore explore how Advance Pricing Agreements can effectively reduce global transfer pricing risk. Experts will share practical insights on avoiding complex cross-border disputes, obtaining greater tax certainty, and managing compliance through proactive planning. Attend to learn how these tools can safeguard against double taxation and support long-term strategic alignment.

In today’s increasingly complex transfer pricing landscape, many organisations are at the beginning of their Operational Transfer Pricing (OTP) journey. This hands-on workshop is designed for TP professionals who want to move from scattered data and reactive compliance to building a structured, scalable OTP process.

Featuring brand-new insights from the upcoming Aibidia 2025 Report, we’ll explore the current state of OTP maturity and where the biggest challenges lie. Through interactive discussions, case studies analogies and live tooling insights, you’ll leave equipped with the knowledge and practical steps needed to confidently begin your OTP transformation.

Whether you’re facing manual chaos or just starting to explore OTP, this session offers a practical, collaborative path forward, equipping you with the mindset, framework, and tools to take the first steps with confidence.
