The BESPOKE-winning methodology that we teach in our Postgraduate course in Transfer Pricing and International taxation has been tried and tested by Dr Daniel N Erasmus in practice.
I/I/T/F has created THE 360 PROJECT, extending the educational platform to assist MNEs in establishing practical and workable systems to identify, monitor and manage the various tax risks that face MNEs.

This has produced results where just under USD$4bn tax exposures have resulted in less than 3% tax liabilities for clients.
