INTRODUCTION TO THE 13TH EDITION OF THE
TRANSFER PRICING AGGIES STUDENT PROFILE BOOK The Fall 2018 edition of the Transfer Pricing Aggies Student Profile Book highlights 34 students who are currently enrolled in or have successfully completed my International Transfer Pricing course MGMT/ECON/INTA 663. They are looking for internships or full-time placements in transfer pricing or closely related careers such as taxation, valuation or data analytics.
My 14-week, 42-hour Transfer Pricing course is a demanding graduate seminar where students read and discuss both scholarly and professional research on multinationals and transfer pricing. Required readings this semester include the 2018 versions of the U.S. Section 482 Regulations, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries. In the course, we discuss the latest topics including: value chain analysis and DEMPE activities, intellectual property and risk migration, BEPS and country-by-country reporting, cash pooling and cost sharing arrangements, restructuring, permanent establishments and significant people functions, and advance pricing agreements. We review well-known transfer pricing cases and the ADIT Transfer Pricing Certificate exams. Students practice their knowledge using Bureau van Dijk’s Transfer Pricing Catalyst, Thomson Reuters OneSource Documenter, ktMINE's Royalty Rates and Standard and Poor’s Capital IQ. Each student also interviews and writes a term paper on a senior transfer pricing professional.
In addition to my transfer pricing course, my students typically take graduate courses in accounting, economics, econometrics, finance, international business, management and statistics. Most students have also completed the Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) Level 1 or 2 Exams, the Advanced Excel course in Management Consulted, and a graduate accounting course in Financial Statements Analysis. They have also benefitted from soft skills training provided by Ms. Marilyn Santiesteban, Assistant Director of Career Services in the Bush School.
Adding the 38 students currently studying transfer pricing with me this semester to the 302 who have previously taken the course brings the total number of Transfer Pricing Aggies to 340 students. Over a third of my former students have transfer pricing careers. Almost of my current and former students are members of my closed Transfer Pricing Aggies network on LinkedIn.
I hope the students in this 13th edition of the Transfer Pricing Aggies Student Profile Book also find successful placements in transfer pricing careers. Each student has signed a FERPA form, allowing public release of his or her information for purposes of job placement. If your firm, tax authority or other organization would like to interview and hire one or more of these students, please contact them directly using the information on their profile page or on their LinkedIn page. More information about transfer pricing at Texas A&M can be found on my LinkedIn page and website.
I would like to thank Mr. Vince Garcia and Ms. Reilly Smith for their help putting together this edition of the Transfer Pricing Aggies Student Profile Book. Gig’em, Aggies!
