Sorry, but the books of "big oil" are cooked.


Yawn.

Last I knew, there were about seven "generally accepted" legal accounting
practices.
Within the limits imposed by law, businesses routinely adopt that one that
best serves the interest of the business .... often changing from reporting
period to reporting period as situations and markets change. Nothing wrong
or illegal about doing that ... it's prudent and responsible to do so in the
best interests of the stockholders. To do otherwise may land you in jail,
especially now-a-days.
