International Economics Student Intern
“I've been working on several projects, including background research on a company that we are going to do a valuation of, several letters to Wal-Mart de Mexico commenting on the royalties they pay to Wal-Mart in the US, and updating transfer pricing reports from previous years. It has been a very positive experience overall. I use Spanish every day at work and have even had the opportunity to update some reports in Spanish. I'm also learning a lot about transfer pricing, especially the relevant Mexican laws and international agreements.”
