Cost-effective transfer pricing documentation

Businesses these days are facing headwinds not seen in decades – soaring inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical turbulences, you name it In this uncertain environment, we see in practice that finance and tax professionals, both in-house and external ones, are increasingly involved in optimizing internal processes and looking for cost reduction solutions, for example, considering the centralization of functions and the revision of outsourcing contracts

Regulatory requirements, on the other hand, continue to progress and the costs of complying with them only increase One of such requirements is the preparation of mandatory transfer pricing documentation for transactions with related parties, which has been introduced in most countries following the OECD BEPS initiative

In-house or outsource

The approach and considerations in the preparation of transfer pricing documentation may be different depending on the specific context However, the three basic pillars are: (1) knowledge and competence, (2) capacity and (3) costs These considerations perfectly support the decision-making process regarding the preparation of transfer pricing documentation

Sourcing models with an external service provider

Sourcing models commonly observed are:

Preparation of documentation in-house with an external support as needed Value to expect from service provider: (a) availability to solve individual complex technical issues, (b) transfer of knowledge, ideas and best practices to the service recipient The documentation is prepared by an external service provider Value to expect from service provider: (a) compliance with the regulatory requirements in accordance with best practices, (b) establishing consistent processes and transferring the knowledge to the service recipient, (c) where applicable, the use of technology tools to improve the quality and efficiency of the preparation process, internal data and information

Hybrid - preparation of documentation takes place in close cooperation between the company and the external service provider Value to expect from service provider: (a) availability of technical capacity, support in the effective identification and resolution of specific issues, (b) improvement of documentation preparation and process efficiency, (c) compliance with the regulatory requirements

The choice of the model may have one or more determining criteria, for example the amount of the budget and control of it, transfer pricing risk management (eg analysis of complex transactions requiring speciality knowledge), use of technology, optimal use of the capacity of the finance or tax team, acquisition of knowledge and best practices from the industry experts, process and quality improvement

Regardless of the chosen sourcing model, cost-effective and high-quality transfer pricing documentation (as a final product) is characterized by compliance, consistency across the group, efficient preparation process and balanced risk management

Practical considerations and ‘as is’ awareness

The approach by multinational groups to the transfer pricing directly depends on the practical experience of inhouse specialists, the complexity of transactions, technical capacity (access to the external database for the benchmarking study) and budget availability It often begins with defining risk levels and priorities, given that transfer pricing landscape across multiple jurisdictions can be surprisingly different

About Merhels

Operating out of Riga, Latvia since 1998, we are a boutique accountancy, tax and financial advisory firm combining over 20 experienced specialists with broad international experience We cater for the needs of organisations who value technical excellence and personalized attention

In terms of transfer pricing we support multinational groups on global projects covering the whole EMEA region We have been involved in M&A support, value chain structuring projects, advance pricing agreements, development of transfer pricing methodologies, preparation of documentation across multiple jurisdictions, benchmarking studies, cost sharing, allocation and cost contribution arrangements to broad spectrum of industries

BEST GLOBAL FENO TESTING PROVIDER 2023

NIOX® is a medical device company dedicated to improving the lives of millions of people suffering from asthma. We do this by helping physicians assess patients more accurately using our proprietary NIOX® technology NIOX® measures the level of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in the breath, with results proven to help in the diagnosis and management of asthma We are proud to be named Best Global FeNO Testing Provider 2023 The award marks our commitment to leading the way in FeNO testing and our continued support for the asthma and respiratory disease community

NIOX VERO® is the leading point-of-care FeNO monitoring and measurement device. When you consider how it all began, it really makes for a fascinating story First came the discovery of the importance of nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the body – so much so that work in the field received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998 This was followed by the discovery of the significance of FeNO as a biomarker in asthma and the development of NIOX® technology at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden The groundbreaking innovations we’re able to develop now all started there

Sold in over 50 countries, NIOX VERO® is the only FeNO device simultaneously to hold a CE Mark and to be approved by the US FDA, China FDA (now the National Medical Products Administration) and NICE. We remain committed to that position.

NIOX VERO® is also the only FeNO device fully compliant with recommendations from the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society for the standardisation of FeNO measurement This is thanks to the breathing handle that filters out nitric oxide in ambient air and organic compounds to ensure exhaled air is not contaminated, which could pose a risk to the accuracy of the result In addition, NIOX VERO® features a unique Flow Rate Control™ mechanism to ensure the patient maintains a steady exhalation, further contributing to accuracy The device also offers visual and audio guides to help patients complete the test

NIOX® technology has always been at the forefront of development The technology was the first to deploy chemiluminescence in FeNO testing The NIOX® electrochemical sensor was subsequently developed, allowing us to take the first portable FeNO device to market Bringing FeNO testing out

of the lab to the point-of-care was a significant breakthrough, not just for NIOX® but for FeNO as a biomarker in asthma management. Many more patients have benefited from the introduction of our point-of-care device and it’s an advance we were very proud to lead

Since then, NIOX VERO® has been selected by NICE to be part of the UK NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) AAC works with innovators to streamline and accelerate the adoption of the best new products in healthcare

FeNO is gaining recognition as the most convenient biomarker in asthma diagnosis and we are happy to play our part in raising awareness of all the available options NIOX® offers access to interactive online training resources, including a series of free masterclasses directed by our lead nurse and FeNO expert. Each session offers more detailed insight into asthma and FeNO testing, as well as the chance to ask questions and see firsthand how NIOX VERO® works We have been delighted with the response, having welcomed attendees from all over the world As a result, the masterclasses have been refreshed and continue into 2023 NIOX® is also back on the road, with live demonstrations and training

Millions of FeNO tests have been performed worldwide using NIOX® technology, a great marker of success We have also launched an innovative new website for patients: fenoandasthma.com. To keep up-to-date, subscribe to our newsletter at nioxcom/subscribe

FISHTOWN PHARMACY

BEST INDEPENDENT FAMILY-OWNED PHARMACY - USA

We are family owned and operated independent pharmacy, we have prided ourselves in offering patients unparalleled customer service We strive to not only serve our community, but to let them know we are always on their side Retail pharmacy has increasingly moved away from devoting time and effort to understanding patient’s perspectives The effort to appreciate our patient’s differing perspectives enables us to respond in kind with customized, empathetic care

After the unfortunate death of one of my heroes, Tony Hsieh, former CEO of Zappos, I reread his amazing book 'Delivering Happiness,’ and it really helped me realign my pharmacy goals The focus on building a staff that genuinely cares for one another, and shares passion for our jobs is of paramount importance I wanted, and have a staff that loves to work together The staff’s caring and passion trickle directly down to our patients, and create unique and memorable customer interactions The easiest way to see how a business treats their customers, is to observe how they treat their staff They are seldomly not aligned

In my core vision of the pharmacy, our product is not a tangible physical item such as prescription drugs or vitamins Our primary focus is not necessarily on selling medicines or supplements, but creating a great customer experience We are essentially a customer service business with a pharmacy problem

Thank you to M&A for this amazing recognition My staff and I are collectively blown away at being named 'Best Independent Family-Owned Pharmacy - USA’ We are endlessly proud, but truly humbled

Thank you to the whole pharmacy family for buying in, and helping me realize accomplishments exceeding my wildest dreams There is so much time and effort spent ‘behind the scenes’ and it all requires constant devotion to improving I appreciate you all sharing my passion for service, and believing we can always get better

Thank you to all of our fiercely loyal tribe Our patients go out of their way to share their customer experiences both online, and by word of mouth We are endlessly grateful for all of you!

INVESTORS CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON THE BIGGEST LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY IN FINANCIAL MARKETS: GLOBAL TRENDS INVESTING

Which long-term investment opportunity today offers investors the most upside over the next 10 years?

We argue there is an opportunity, today, offering stronger long-term performance than any other asset class.

At Dominion we believe that investing in long-term structural growth trends offers investors a unique, industry leading investment opportunity. This is not limited to just one or two themes Emerging technologies, change in society, industrialization, the themes available to invest in are numerous Through our investment funds, we offer exposure to all these major sources of change in the world, generating returns based on that change

Our approach, which differs from most fund managers, means we are free to look for trends occurring at a global level and offering the best long-term opportunities

These structural themes, which we call Global Trends, are reshaping our world Missing out on this deprives investors of a critical long-term exposure to sustainable growth.

There are 2 million electric cars on the road today;

by 2030 there will be 200 million, a 100x increase in market size

Climate change requires trillions of dollars of investment in zero carbon energy infrastructure, energy efficiency and new technologies to supply future energy needs.

New healthcare technology is allowing all humans to live longer and more fulfilling lives, generating long-term growth in investment into healthcare services and research & development

These are a few examples of the monumental changes underway in the global economy All investors should have access to investment tools giving them exposure to these themes

As the world continues to change, so does the focus of our funds, which ‘future proofs’ our investment exposures and allows us to invest in the Global Trends of the future, as and when they arise

The investment team at Dominion is structured to create breadth and depth of knowledge With more than 100 years combined investment experience, the team is often years ahead of the market in identifying structural themes and successful investment strategies driven by Global Trends

I have had many role models throughout my career, including leaders who showed me what good leadership should look like and the positive impact it can have on people you are working with I have also been inspired by individuals such as my mother and my dear friend Kulwinder, who have gone through downs in life and had managed to bounce back to thrive new heights Their journeys do remind me that although we cant control events in our life but we can control our reactions and actions to deal with them. Their fighting spirit and never-give- up attitude is a huge inspiration to me

I believe that we should never stop learning and seeking feedbacks This process will rather help us with continuous development and growth cementing belief in our own ability I am have always applied these principles and have not let an awareness of your own development areas impact my confidence levels or self- belief So matter what stage you are at in your career, you can continue to learn, evolve and grow

BEST HCM FINANCIAL SECURITY SOLUTION: DAILYPAY - GLOBAL

DailyPay is reimagining the way money moves, from the moment work starts For decades, employees were controlled by the invisible rules of money Rules that only give you biweekly access to your pay even when you worked and earned your pay. Rules that decide who has access to the best banking services Rules say you pay your rent in advance but get paid by your employer in arrears

These rules, written and enforced by an analog 20th-century payroll structure, have forced most of the American workforce to turn to predatory financial products when short on cash to make ends meet or to pay for an emergency expense. When tens of millions of households face financial hardship, it bleeds into work and ultimately the economy People are less engaged at work, companies make less profit, families are less secure and there’s less money circulating throughout the economy

To tackle these challenges, DailyPay built a new financial system that’s centered around the employee Our first-of-its-kind technology platform

gives our users a real-time accumulating balance of available funds as they work throughout the pay period We have seen DailyPay users, who once relied on overdraft and credit to make it to the next payday, begin to save their hard-earned pay before payroll is even run. By putting money in the hands of the people when they need it and when they earn it, we can break the negative cycle of financial stress that has endured for too long

Our mission to rewrite the invisible rules of money to create a new financial system that works for everyone continues to grow We see a world where every worker has the opportunity to pay bills, spend, save, or invest on their own schedule - not an arbitrary payday We see a world where payday loan shops shut down because working Americans have access to the money, they’ve worked hard for to pay bills and stay out of the vicious cycle of debt

We are unwavering in our commitment and dedication to financial equity for all working Americans as we change pay…for good.

INNOVATIONS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS: THE NEXT GENERATION OF COOKWARE- 2023

Shaving products are a necessity for most consumers, but in today’s market there is little choice for a razor that is versatile and designed with safety in mind The innovators at Creative Concepts wanted the future of grooming to embody flexibility and because shavers are so intimate, we want the consumer to be at ease knowing that our product is developed with their safety in mind

Creative Concepts is extremely successful and has built an empire but, what is their story? The answers to this question will give you a better understanding of the core values of the company and why the team values craftsmanship and safety

1 Creative Concepts, your company has definitely achieved a lot of success over the years, from winning awards to your elite work ethic and digital marketing skills you are definitely industry leaders Can you tell our readers how the company was established?

Over 40 years ago our family’s Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)/ Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) business was founded by the patriarch of the family, Gary Advani

Today, the company is managed by Gary’s two sons Joe Advani and Vin Advani. Over the years we have successfully conceptualized, manufactured, marketed and distributed over 1,500 unique projects across various categories including the men’s grooming and ladies personal care lines.

2. Creative Concepts has been around for over 35 years and your products have helped influence manufacturing around the world. Tell us, what is your secret to encourage growth and success over the years?

Being successful in business means changing our business model to sustain growth We developed into a one-stop-shop, from inspiring innovative ideas, to development, manufacturing, to later adding services like marketing and distribution

3 Your portfolio of products is impressive and extensive but we want to zero in on Grooming Tell us more about the innovation you refer to as the Freedom Razor and the reason why it has a sharp competitive edge against the competition

Grooming is an essential part of the everyday routine of most people and innovation

was inevitable. We desired the future of shaving to be less time consuming, easier and safer while delivering more comfort than ever before at a fraction of the cost!

Our ground-breaking shavers the Freedom Razor and Bliss Razor, offers the consumer the freedom to choose a blade that aligns with their shaving needs without locking them into buying new handles or sticking to one brand of blade The patented Freedom Razor has broken the barrier, allowing the consumer true freedom of choice with it’s revolutionary 360o revolving head mechanism that works with over 85 common blades on the market

The Bliss razor is similar to the Freedom Razor as it can fit over 45 common blades! They are truly unique

The razor sharp competitive edge doesn’t stop there, each blade for the Freedom Razor uses our patented 6blade cartridge system and is coated with Zero-BTM antimicrobial technology for a safer and cleaner shave with less irritation These blades also feature a unique No-Clog system that cleans easily and stays sharper for longer

CREATIVE CONCEPTS

4. The Freedom Razor and Bliss Razors are a vision, where did your innovators come up with the concepts behind this product and how did the vision become a reality?

The idea of the Bliss and Freedom Razor came to life when our innovators realized that consumers were getting locked into purchasing handles for razors that can only fit one blade that they may or may not want to replace

Both the Freedom Razor and the Bliss Razor gives freedom of choice When contemplating the blade design, we thought about the rising safety concerns brought about by the pandemic and created the Zero-B blades to offer a more hygienic option

5 How does the Freedom Razor differ from other shaving products available on the market? Were there any production challenges or complications when designing this versatile shaving product?

Can you imagine creating a razor for men that works

with over 85 different blade types and one for women that works with over 45 blade types? We’ve spent hours perfecting the engineering and precision of the Freedom Razor and Bliss Razor but when we stop and look at the blade itself, building a cartridge that included the antimicrobial coating without impacting the core performance was not an easy task

6. As the developing world changes, the art of grooming has remained a constant Shaving is timeless, it is an art that has been around for decades and will be here for decades to come Creative Concepts must have a plan to manage consumer expectations and ensure your product is the best on the market?

We focused on delivering a premium experience to the consumer which is evident when you look at the unique unibody aluminium construction and our deluxe 6 blade cartridges Offering the consumer the freedom to choose by removing the most taxing concern of being stuck with a handle that can only fit a singular

select blade is immense But to make it affordable is priceless!

7. Your innovations and creativity never ceases to surprise us, can you let us in on any secrets you have up your sleeve for the upcoming year?

Although there is a lot happening in our Research and Development labs, the product that we are most excited to introduce next is a brand new line of disposable razors

These razors provide the same hygienic components and antimicrobial technology as its premium razor counterparts, at a price point that is competitive with other disposable razors on the market

On the commercial front, our teams are hard at work launching global and regional partnerships that will create special buzz and excitement around our brands and products, so stay tuned!
