Inventory Accounting Policy
Inventories of crude oil and refined products, other than inventories held for trading purposes, are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, and net realizable value. Costs include direct and indirect expenditures incurred in bringing an item or product to its existing condition and location. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value.
Inventories held for trading purposes in Suncor's energy supply and trading operations are carried at fair value less costs to sell, and any changes in fair value are recognized within Other Income.
