Case Study: a major government agency sharpens transfer pricing analysis with S&P Global Market Intelligence

A Government Agency Sharpens Its Focus On Transfer Pricing Strategies

S&P Global worked with a leading government agency’s transfer pricing group, the tax authority of a major world government, which needed trusted data and analytical tools to assess credit risk and benchmark intercompany interest rates against market conditions. The agency wanted transparent, defendable methods to evaluate public and private companies of all sizes and to test multiple interest rate scenarios for transfer pricing reviews.

S&P Global Market Intelligence proposed its Credit Analytics suite, including PDFN, CreditModel, and Corporate Yield Curves, giving the agency tools to assess the creditworthiness of smaller, mid-, and large-cap companies and to evaluate term structures and bond-based interest rates with transparent inputs. The case study highlights improved reliability, methodology transparency, and workflow efficiency through pre-scored data, backtesting, flexible delivery, and documentation, though it does not cite a specific quantified financial impact.
