Our members include accountants, auditors, controllers, and consultants from across the Permian Basin, all working together to advance our industry with clarity, consistency, and professionalism.

As a charter member of COPAS (Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies), PASPB is part of a national alliance of professionals shaping how the petroleum industry accounts for joint ventures, revenue, and tax matters.
COPAS has been the backbone of oil and gas accounting standards for over 60 years. Its model form procedures, audit guidelines, and educational publications are widely adopted across the U.S. and Canada. Furthermore, PASPB members benefit directly from these evolving best practices.
Today, PASPB comprises over 120 professionals representing more than 40 companies. We meet monthly from September through May to stay ahead of industry changes, earn CPE credits, and foster the relationships that keep our basin strong.
