Auditor's responsibility in relation to transfer pricing

Abstract

The article discusses the auditor's responsibility - first in general and subsequently in relation to transfer prices for related parties. The basis for the assessment of transfer prices from the auditor perspective is the view of accounting regulations and auditing standards. Based on the auditor's responsibility analysis, the article analyzes the judiciary's decision-making based on the relationship between the auditor's report and transfer prices. The research based on the case law of the Supreme Administrative Court refers to the auditors' failure in issuing auditor's reports on the financial statements. The result of the research shows that the auditor did not pay enough attention to the correct setting of transfer prices. The consequences are not only tax credits, but also incorrectly reported information on expenses (revenues) and profit or loss of the entities in their financial statements.
