1. AMSA has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 117.

The above lease disclosures should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes 1.1B, 1.2B, 2.2A, 2.4A.

Accounting Policy

AMSA 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. AMSA recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1. AMSA has applied AASB 15 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 118.

Accounting Policy

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control has been transferred to the buyer.

AMSA identifies that a contract is within the scope of AASB 15 when an enforceable agreement exists, including where enforceable rights and obligations arise through statutory requirements, where the performance obligations are sufficiently specific to enable AMSA to determine when they have been satisfied and where it is probable that AMSA will collect payment in exchange for the goods or services.

Where these criteria are not met and the consideration to acquire the asset is significantly less than fair value principally to enable AMSA to further its objectives it will be within the scope of AASB 1058 and revenue is recognised when AMSA has a right to receive payment.

AMSA principally generates its revenue from contracts with customers through the delivery of regulatory services, where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the regulatory process is finalised and the outcome is provided to the customer.

The transaction price is the total amount of consideration to which AMSA expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Consideration for regulatory services is primarily received up front and recognised as a contract liability until the performance obligations are satisfied by AMSA.

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 the end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable.

1. AMSA has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 117.

Operating leases

AMSA leases its residential properties to employees in remote regions and to external parties when not required by employees. AMSA subleases a small part of its warehouse and office space to its contractors and subleases car parking spaces to employees. AMSA manages the risks associated with any rights it retains in the underlying asset through the use of commercial arrangements to manage the lease and appropriate insurance coverage.

Accounting Policy
