Frequently Asked Questions
How is joint cost allocated in refineries?
Joint costs (crude + processing) are allocated using: (1) Sales value at split-off, (2) Physical units. Low-value by-products are recorded at NRV as a reduction of joint cost.
What is component depreciation for refineries?
Refinery components have different useful lives: furnace (15-20 yrs), distillation column (20-25 yrs), catalyst (2-5 yrs), heat exchanger (10-15 yrs). PSAK 16 recommends separate depreciation per significant component.

Accurate, timely financial reports help you spot cost leakage, monitor margins by product or service, and make data-based decisions.

Yes. We use cloud accounting systems so you can monitor cash flow, profit and loss, and business performance from anywhere.
