%X The conduct of non-operator audits is a fundamental safeguard built into most joint venture agreements. The conduct of such audits should be regarded as a normal part of managing the relationship between the operator and the other parties to the joint venture, and should, where possible, be undertaken by the joint venture participants&apos; own finance staff rather than abdicated to third parties.The audits should be expedited in a professional manner and cause the operator the least disruption.The purpose of audits should be to confirm trust in the operator. Accordingly, they should focus on the operator&apos;s systems and procedures for ensuring compliance with the JOA.
