Abstract: The subject of accuracy in gas measurement remains a topic of discussion at all levels of corporate management, training schools, and throughout the gas industry. The need for preciseness begins with a complete overview from the meter installation and ends with the correct billing of the customer/producer. This presentation deals primarily with the foreign (external) approach. Although, a similarity exists between the external and Internal chart audits, most companies depend on the expertise of its own employees for internal error control. The chart audit not only implies volume accuracy, but it also includes the implementation of company policies and standards as a guideline. Because auditing can involve many different ententes such as sales, receipts, exchanges, or transports the need for specific company procedures and government regulations in the manipulation of the data becomes an important tool. For example, it is imperative In the initial audit analysis that the type of transaction be handled according to the companys contract. Another significant document in assisting an auditor or accountant includes a detailed Inventory Report which provides all the information about the meter station such as: meter type, (positive, turbine, or orifice), its location, plate size, and other pertinent data.

Not only can the implementation of policies and standards aid a very tedious and difficult task, but it also can bring into focus creditablllty between the producer and customer.
