Solution Functionality


A fresh approach to corporate financial management with a best-in-breed solution


Division of Interest


EFM adds tremendous flexibility to the task of creating division of interest (DOI).  By providing the ability to establish flexible, date-effective DOIs and the capacity to support account-based exceptions, the EFM solution helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of your operational teams.


Joint Venture Accounting


As an operator, the accuracy and timeliness of the joint interest billing (JIB) process is imperative. EFM allows for the most efficient methods of recording invoice and ownership data, manages accurate ownership changes, appropriately allocates costs among wells and owners per the JOA (joint operating agreement) and ensures timely collection of accounts receivable balances.


Authorization for Expenditure (AFE)


The fundamental need to control capital expenditures mandates that an accounting system has the ability to measure actual against budgeted costs on both a gross and net basis. EFM provides a superior level of control and automation through automatic updates and threshold warnings, establishing increased confidence in the resulting data.


Revenue Accounting


EFM Revenue is a comprehensive application for recording, tracking, distributing, and reporting sales of oil, gas, and other energy products.  The integrated module streamlines many of the challenges facing the industry such as DOI management; netting; complex tax and deduction calculations; prior period adjustments; purchaser receivables management and variance analysis.


Multi-Location, Multi-Currency, Multi-Language


Be it through organic growth or merger and acquisition activity, most oil and gas companies will eventually expand their business scope to include international operations. EFM facilitates compliance with local accounting and reporting requirements of the international market, while simultaneously meeting home country financial reporting standards.
