Accounting Policy
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
AFMA has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (less than $10,000). AFMA recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following is a description of principal activities from which the AFMA generates its revenue: - Regulatory services which primarily consists of fees for services for observers, logbooks and licensing, vessel monitoring services provided to both industry and State Governments and other regulatory compliance services. Fees for services and compliance services are recognised over time based on actual costs incurred.- Other revenues which primarily consist of service contracts with related Commonwealth Government entities for enforcement and research activities. Other revenue enforcement activities are recognised either over time as expenses are incurred for each project. Research services are recognised at a point in time when milestones have been met.
Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable.
Revenue from Government
Amounts appropriated for departmental appropriations for the year (adjusted for any formal additions and reductions) are recognised as Revenue from Government when AFMA gains control of the appropriation, except for certain amounts that relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case revenue is recognised only when it has been earned. Appropriations receivable are recognised at their nominal amounts.
Other Revenue
Resources received free of charge (RRFOC) are recognised as gains when, and only when, a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense. RRFOC are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature.
