Going beyond global transfer pricing

As a global company, BOA Technology faced the intricate challenge of ensuring its transfer pricing practices adhered to arm’s length regulations across multiple jurisdictions. With operations spanning the globe, the company sought a comprehensive solution to modernize its approach and help ensure compliance in an increasingly complex international tax landscape.

The Challenge

BOA’s previous transfer pricing studies were completed piecemeal over the years and needed a comprehensive update to align with current standards. BOA required international tax expertise to perform in-depth transfer pricing analyses and prepare documentation for all its foreign jurisdictions. Trusting Wipfli’s proven track record as a reliable partner for audit and accounting services, BOA turned to the firm to tackle this critical undertaking.

The Solution

Wipfli rose to the challenge by conducting comprehensive transfer pricing analyses for all five foreign jurisdictions where BOA operates. By leveraging robust benchmarking tools, the team identified and implemented the most appropriate transfer pricing methodology, helping to ensure intercompany transactions met arm’s length standards. To address local documentation requirements, Wipfli engaged Allinial Global, a trusted network of legally independent accounting firms with a presence in 109 countries. Local peer firms verified Wipfli’s methodology and prepared jurisdiction-specific documentation to help ensure seamless compliance on a global scale.

Knowing we have the appropriate documentation and we’re fully compliant brings us peace of mind. But Wipfli went even further. They were looking at where else they could add value.
