Expenditure Audits
(Capital and Operating)
Whether you have questions about capital and operating costs or simply require due diligence, our auditors are skilled at reviewing the costs incurred in the construction and/or operation of wells, facilities, and projects. These audits aim to validate whether capital and operating expenses are accurate and in accordance with the governing agreements and industry standards.
Production Allocation and Revenue Audits
We can provide detailed reviews of how oil and natural gas produced is allocated to the owners, accounting for the accurate and equitable distribution of all products and revenue. Our auditors are also equipped with the background necessary to review production accounting, fees, equalizations, and other volumetric scope items.
Fees and Equalizations/13th Month Adjustments Audits
In processing fee audits, our specialists review the fees charged for production processing. Typical items include compression fees, gas gathering fees, emulsion processing fees, and gas processing fees. These reviews can include both fee expenses and also fee revenue.
Audits of equalizations and thirteenth month adjustments review the operating expenses and fees adjusted at the end of the year based on facility throughput. We can offer you either a high level or detailed review of these items, depending on your budget and concerns.
Final Statement of Adjustments (FSOA) Audits
These audits are very important to conduct, as there are often issues. Typically 180 days after the Closing Date of an asset disposition, the Vendor prepares a Final Statement of Adjustments (FSOA) to account for all benefits and obligations pertaining to the assets sold. The FSOA accounts for the period between the Closing Date and the Effective Date. Typical issues include date errors that may cause the Purchaser to be charged for pre-Effective Date costs that they do not owe.
