Compliance Risks in Manual Accounting Workflows

Manual accounting reports highlighting compliance risks and errors.

Oil and gas businesses that rely on manual accounting processes face significant compliance risks. Failing to comply with financial reporting regulations can result in increased scrutiny, audits, and penalties that negatively impact an operator's profitability and reputation.

By automating workflows, specialized energy accounting software offers the perfect solution, enabling businesses to generate timely, accurate, and compliant financial reports.

Pitfalls in Manual O&G Accounting

The oil and gas sector is subject to complex revenue recognition rules under standards like Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 15. Manual processes increase the likelihood of misreporting due to production imbalances, evolving regulations and contracts, and the timing of revenue recognition.

Joint ventures require precise allocation of costs and revenues among all partners. Manual Joint Interest Billing (JIB) processes may lead to inaccurate cost allocation, delays, and audit failures, which can compromise stakeholder relationships.

For publicly traded companies, manual accounting practices increase the risk for Sarbanes- Oxley (SOX) Act violations, while tax and royalty miscalculations can lead to jurisdiction-specific noncompliance issues.
