Joint Venture and Partnership Auditing

Integrity Audit and Accounting are experts in conducting energy joint venture audits and partnership audits. Established in 2011, we audit Canadian, American, and international joint ventures and partnerships.

Audits generally fall into three main categories—Expenditure Audits, Production Allocation and Revenue Audits, and Final Statement of Adjustments (FSOA) Audits—and our team specializes in all three.

Expenditure Audits

Expenditure Audits review the capital and operating 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.

Final Statement of Adjustments (FSOA) Audits

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. FSOA audits are typically very important to conduct, as there are frequently issues, including date errors that may cause the Purchaser to be charged for pre-Effective Date costs that they do not owe.

The Integrity Advantage

Joint venture audits and partnership audits in the oil and gas industry require expertise in a number of areas, including accounting, operations, contract compliance, systems, and technology. These audits demand well-rounded experts who can make the most of limited time, quickly getting up to speed on properties, agreements, and processes.

Our team of experienced auditors can help identify issues and validate the accounting of expenditures, revenue, and product allocations according to the terms of the governing agreements.
