International Tax Experts Examine Tax Audit and Appeal Rights in BNA Webinar Following London Summit

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Twice a year, the Tax Management International Forum (IF) draws together leading tax practitioners from a dozen or more countries to discuss tax topics of multinational interest.  Each Forum member is invited to review two 'fact patterns', and comment on how his/her native jurisdiction would likely respond given the context.  On October 28, 2011, one of the topics discussed by the IF in London will be The Audit Process: Examination of Tax Returns and Appeal Rights.  BNA will offer a webinar on that topic immediately following the conclusion of the Forum meeting.
