We're always so happy to hear direct feedback from those who've attended training courses with IBFD.

"Attending the first year of the RSM Fundamentals Tax Academy, delivered by IBFD, was a very enriching and memorable experience. Amongst the many things which stood out were:

•The sheer range of topics which included The OECD Model Tax Treaty, Permanent Establishments (PEs), the Attribution of Profits to PEs, Transfer Pricing, Pillar Two and Value Added Taxes.
•The knowledgeable and engaging instructors, each of whom was an expert in their field.
•The very lively & interactive Question & Answer sessions.

I acquired very relevant information, which I’m applying in my everyday work. I’m really looking forward to the second year of the RSM Fundamentals Tax Academy and am very thankful to both IBFD and RSM."
