Massive Canadian Based oil and gas company faces accounting Fraud Charge

In June, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged a Canadian-based oil and gas company and three of its former top finance executives for their roles in an extensive, multi-year accounting fraud.

According to the complaint Penn West Petroleum Ltd., which has since been renamed Obsidian Energy Ltd., fraudulently moved hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses from operating expense accounts to capital expenditure accounts. This alleged fraudulent movement caused Penn West to artificially reduce its operating costs by as much as 20 percent in certain periods. This falsely improved reported metrics for oil extraction efficiency and profitability.
