Course overview

Oil and gas projects carry high financial exposure. This forces companies to share risks and capital commitments through joint ventures. Accountants, auditors and managers need a firm grasp of the commercial frameworks and reporting obligations that govern these partnerships.

The training introduces the different joint venture structures used across the sector. Delegates explore the specific accounting methods applied to joint operating agreements. They learn how to record borrowing costs, development expenditures and cash calls. The programme details cost allocation techniques and tax treatment procedures.

Delegates also review the wider financial standards affecting oil and gas joint ventures. The final days cover revenue recognition, asset control, joint interest billing and how International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) apply to reserves, resources and embedded derivatives.
