Accounting Policy
Revenue
All administered revenues are revenues relating to ordinary activities performed by the ABS on behalf of the Australian Government.
Revenue is generated from fines applied by the courts, which is recognised upon payment. Court costs awarded against the ABS, as opposed to fines, are recorded as a departmental expense.
Fines
The Census and Statistics Act 1905 provides the Australian Statistician with the authority to conduct statistical collections and, when necessary, to direct a person or an organisation to provide statistical information. Where information is not provided, the ABS can impose a fine on the person or organisation. Such fines are reported in the financial statements as administered income.
