The 10-Day International Financial Reporting & Treasury Risk Management for the Oil & Gas Industry

This 10-day course combines IFRS financial reporting with treasury risk management for oil and gas, covering exploration and production accounting, hedging under IFRS 9, liquidity and covenant management, and financial risk governance. Participants gain models that strengthen both reporting integrity and treasury control.

Introduction

The 10-Day International Financial Reporting & Treasury Risk Management for the Oil & Gas Industry Training Course combines two disciplines that energy finance teams must master together. Oil and gas companies face complex accounting for reserves, joint ventures, and long-lived assets, alongside heavy exposure to commodity prices, currency movements, and funding needs. This programme addresses both in one integrated agenda. It covers IFRS reporting for exploration and production, revenue and cost accounting, treasury operations, hedging, and liquidity management. Furthermore, it connects accounting treatment with treasury strategy. In addition, participants work through reporting and hedging scenarios from real industry practice. As a result, they can strengthen financial reporting and treasury control at once.

Course Objectives

  • Apply IFRS standards for oil and gas: IFRS 6, IAS 16, IAS 36, and IFRS 15.
  • Account for exploration, development, and production activities correctly.
  • Apply successful efforts and full cost accounting concepts.
  • Handle joint venture, production sharing, and farm-in arrangements.
  • Report reserves, decommissioning provisions, and impairment.
  • Manage treasury operations including cash, funding, and banking relationships.

Course Methodology

This course combines expert-led sessions, industry case analysis, and applied financial modelling. Participants prepare IFRS disclosures for a producing asset, build a hedge effectiveness assessment, and design a treasury risk dashboard for a simulated energy company. In addition, scenario exercises cover price swings and funding stress. Templates, worked models, and peer review support immediate workplace application.
