  • 2. The Fall 2014 Transfer Pricing Aggies Student Profile Book highlights 19 graduate students at Texas A&M University who are now taking, or will take in Spring 2015, my International Transfer Pricing course MGMT/INTA 663. They are looking for internships or full-time placement in transfer pricing, valuation, tax and related careers. Each student has signed a FERPA form, allowing public release of their information for purposes of job placement. My 14-week semester-long course (42 hours) is a demanding graduate seminar with a strong economics focus. We read the most recent professional and scholarly work on transfer pricing in addition to thoroughly dissecting the IRS Section 482 Regulations and the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. The students prepare a contemporaneous documentation package using Thomson Reuters OneSource Documenter, perform a CUT analysis using ktMINEs Royalty Rate Finder, and study and present well-known transfer pricing court cases. The students review past ADIT transfer pricing exams and are tested weekly on class materials. Courses such as Financial Statements Analysis and Advanced Statistics provide additional competencies. Students who successfully complete this program of study are therefore well prepared to work in the transfer pricing field and related areas such as tax or valuation. More than 60 Transfer Pricing Aggies have successfully completed this training and are working fulltime in these areas. If your firm is interested in employing one or more of these students, please contact them directly using the email or LinkedIn information on their profile page. Questions about the Profile Book or transfer pricing at Texas A&M University should be directed to Lorraine Eden at [email protected]. I would like to thank Alexandra Clakley for her assistance in putting together the second edition of the Transfer Pricing Aggies Profile Book, and all the students, staff and faculty involved in this project.
