Thomson Reuters Partners with Bureau van Dijk

Providing Access to Databases for Transfer Pricing Documentation

The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters has announced a new and expanded strategic partnership with Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing (BvDEP) to provide transfer pricing professionals worldwide more choices for comparables data through its ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing Compliance Edition software solution.

“We are excited to offer clients expanded access to BvDEP’s databases, in addition to existing databases from Thomson Reuters and other leading providers, as part of our comprehensive ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing solution,” said Kenneth Crutchfield, vice president and general manager of ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing at Thomson Reuters. “Our expanded relationship provides our clients access to the market leading OSIRIS, AMADEUS and ORIANA databases. This accessibility will help our clients more effectively comply with worldwide taxing authorities’ requirement to document intercompany business transactions.”

Under the new agreement, Thomson Reuters will incorporate the Medium, Large and Very Large version of BvDEP’s AMADEUS database into its ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing solution. This version was formerly known as the 1.5 million company version of AMADEUS. Additionally, BvDEP’s ORIANA database of Asia-Pacific companies and OSIRIS, BvDEP’s listed global company database, will be incorporated into its ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing solutions. Additionally, transfer pricing consultants within Thomson Reuters now have access to BvDEP’s suite of databases to support the ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing services solution.

“We are pleased to enter into this partnership with Thomson Reuters,” said Angus Davidson, regional managing director at Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing. “Not only do our two companies share commonality as leaders in the global information industry, but we also share a passion for providing the latest, most accurate data and solutions to our mutual Transfer Pricing customers.”

BvDEP is one of the world’s leading electronic publishers of business and company information. Its data spans both private and public companies providing analytical databases for in-depth research of individual companies as well as detailed analysis of company peer groups and benchmarking. “Our extensive, relevant data combined with our innovative database tools bring value to clients by making information easily accessible and quickly attainable,” added Davidson
