In O & G, I think most would be looking for "Production Accounting" experience or training...like this at MRC.

There's a huge difference between production accounting and AR accounting, so much so that if she went and did the Cappa program and wanted to be a PA, her 3 years AR experience would be viewed as only being as useful as 3 years experience in a general clerical role. The only saving grace for her is that both PA and AR positions have a high attrition rate and the labor market is in her favor.
