Reports and Studies
The KPMG Trade & Customs practice helps companies keep up with changing global trade regulations while processing transactions in real time without compromising compliance.
In February 2021, KPMG engaged export controls and sanctions professionals at more than 100 multinational firms to gather their input to better understand how export controls and sanctions programs are organized, the most relevant global regulations with which they must comply, the regions/countries they export from and to, and their primary exports, among other items.
Tax and trade compliance departments are regularly juggling competing priorities. To help benchmark current practices, KPMG conducted a market survey. Nearly 120 companies responded providing information about trade implications caused by transfer pricing adjustments within their organization.
