International Accounting Development:

Oil and Gas

Advanced International Program in Oil and Gas Financial Management

The University of Texas at Dallas, through its Center for International Accounting Development, sponsors this intensive four-week advanced international program in oil and gas financial management. It is designed for experienced personnel concerned with the financial-accounting aspects of oil and gas operations.

This non-degreed program gives participants an improved understanding of accounting and financial issues pertaining to oil and gas operations. It addresses a number of related economic, legal, taxation, budgeting, planning, auditing, information system, managerial and strategic planning issues.

Participants are drawn from middle- and upper-level personnel in countries other than the U.S. working, for example, in privately or government-owned oil and gas companies, government or private agencies involved with these operations, and accounting and consulting firms. The variety of backgrounds and countries represented in each class helps participants gain insight into comparative oil and gas operations and to exchange experiences by function and area.

The instructors for this program include highly qualified professionals in consulting and accounting firms, and members of the academic community. Instruction is at a professional level, and each instructor provides course materials for participants' use. Extensive reliance is placed on examples, problems and case materials.

The exchange of experience and ideas among participants from a variety of oil-producing countries is a major component of this program.

Next program: April 26 - May 22, 2009
