Today’s problem-solvers are a new breed. Improving the bottom line requires individual and collective expertise, technological know-how, collaboration of resources, and attentiveness to changes affecting an industry’s business practices.

Since 1961, the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS) has nurtured professional development and problem-solving resources for the special challenges facing oil and gas accountants. From the wellhead to burner tip, the focus is on the bottom line.

COPAS establishes and dispenses energy accounting guidelines, model form interpretations, best practices, training, and reference publications.

COPAS provides ethical standards for energy accountants and is the certification organization for the Accredited Petroleum Accountant (APA) program. It is the business of COPAS to enable you to stay “ahead of the pack” in your career.

We are Turning Energy into Synergy.
