International Insights PASC has a long-standing relationship with the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS). In fact, we were one of the founding members of the organization more than 35 years ago. COPAS serves as an umbrella association for all of the petroleum accounting societies in North America. Through our affiliation with COPAS, PASC, and by extension our members, stays in touch with accounting policy developments in the U.S. and internationally.
Professional Development Luncheons PASC holds luncheon meetings at the Palliser Hotel on the third Wednesday of every month. Each meeting features an interesting guest speaker who sheds light on a different aspect of our industry. These luncheon meetings are a great opportunity to network and discuss industry activities. PASC members receive a discount on registration fees.

To this end, we provide the following continuing education courses: Introduction to Petroleum Accounting, Fixed Asset Fundamentals, Equalizations Basics, and Production Analysis and Audit.
