Why assess transfer pricing risk proactively?
A risk assessment finds the weak points in your TP position — before a notice does — and shows what to fix.
Identify Exposure
Spotting transactions and positions most likely to attract adjustment.
- High-value / cross-border deals
- Intangibles and financing
- Loss-making or margin outliers
Close the Gaps
Turning findings into a clear remediation and documentation plan.
- Documentation gaps
- Benchmarking weaknesses
- Consistency across years
Most transfer pricing adjustments are predictable — and preventable.
Transfer pricing scrutiny tends to focus on the same weak points: unusual margins, intangibles, intra-group financing and thin documentation.
A risk assessment tests your position against those triggers and quantifies the exposure before it becomes a demand.
Findings feed directly into documentation, benchmarking and, if needed, defence.

TP Risk Assessment Graphic
What we need for a risk review.
Fixing exposure early is far cheaper than an adjustment.
A transfer pricing adjustment brings additional tax, interest and potential penalty — often many times the cost of a proactive review.
Most exposure comes down to a few weak points that a focused assessment can identify and quantify.
Acting on the findings before assessment converts risk into a defensible, documented position.
