Government Royalty in Kind (RIK)
Recording the government taking its royalty share in physical oil rather than cash.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Crude Oil Inventory (Reduced by RIK Volume) | Asset (-) | - | 1,500,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Some governments elect to take their royalty as physical oil lifted from the field. The RIK is measured at fair value on the lifting date and reduces the company's inventory. Revenue is not recognized on the government's share.
