Abstract

This cross‐disciplinary case study uses the concept of the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) in the upstream petroleum industry to demonstrate the application of activity‐based costing in a challenging international business environment. The case is designed and implemented to encourage students to critically address and solve legal, operational, and accounting challenges from a global perspective. This case is intended to be an appropriate hands‐on, experiential tool for undergraduate degree‐level managerial accounting classes. The learning objectives of this case include (i) to develop an understanding of the PSAs and identify their potential related challenges; (ii) to apply activity‐based costing using a multiple‐step approach in a unique, international, realistic, and challenging environment; and (iii) to identify the gaps between the current case activity‐based costing application and IFRS. La comptabilité par activités dans un contexte commercial difficile : Étude de cas Cette étude de cas interdisciplinaire mise sur le concept de contrat de partage de la production (CPP) dans l'industrie pétrolière en amont pour faire une démonstration de l'utilisation de la comptabilité par activités dans un contexte commercial international difficile. L'étude est conçue et mise en œuvre de façon à encourager les étudiants à aborder de façon critique des problèmes juridiques, opérationnels et comptables selon une perspective mondiale. Elle vise à fournir aux étudiants de premier cycle en comptabilité de gestion un outil pratique et expérientiel. Voici certains objectifs d'apprentissage de cette étude de cas: 1) comprendre ce que sont les CPP et cerner les enjeux qui peuvent y être associés; 2) utiliser la comptabilité par activités dans le cadre d'une approche en plusieurs étapes dans un contexte unique, international, réaliste et difficile; 3) cerner les différences entre la comptabilité par activités utilisée pour ce cas et les dispositions des Normes internationales d'information financière (IFRS).
