Note 1 – Objectives of the Australian Federal Police
The objectives of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are to enforce Commonwealth
criminal law and protect Commonwealth and national interests from crime in
Australia and overseas. In order to achieve these objectives, the Australian Federal
Police is structured to meet 5 outcomes:
Outcome 1: Criminal activity is deterred in areas impacting on the Commonwealth
Governments interests
Outcome 2: Those individuals and interests identified by the Commonwealth
Government or the AFP as being at risk are kept safe and secure as a
result of AFP protective services
Outcome 3: Policing activity creates a safer and more secure environment in the
Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Jervis Bay and Australia’s external
territories
Outcome 4: The Commonwealth Government contributes effectively to international
law enforcement interests
Outcome 5: Community confidence in honesty, effectiveness and accountability of
the AFP is high.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance
with historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at
valuation. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing
prices on the results or the financial position.
The continued existence of the AFP in its present form, and with its present programs,
is dependent on Government policy and on continuing appropriations by Parliament
for the AFP’s administration and programs.

Changes in Accounting Policy
Changes in accounting policy have been identified in this note under their appropriate
headings.
2.3
Agency and Administered Items
Agency assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are those items that are controlled by
the AFP.  They are used by the AFP in producing its outputs, including:
•  computers, plant and equipment used in providing goods and services,
•  liabilities for employee entitlements,
•  revenues from appropriations or independent sources in payment of outputs, and
•

Administered items are distinguished from agency items in the financial statements by
shading.

In the process of reporting the AFP as a single unit, and in preparation of the outcome
statements, any intra- and inter-outcome transactions and balances have been

Reporting by Outcomes
A comparison of Budget and Actual figures by outcome specified in the
Appropriation Acts relevant to the AFP is presented in Note 16. The net cost to
Budget outcomes shown includes intra-government costs that are eliminated in
calculating the actual budget outcome for the Government overall.
2.6
Revenues from Government
Revenues from government are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the
AFP.
Policies for accounting for revenue from government follow; amounts and other
details are given in Note 4 – Operating Revenue.
Agency Appropriations
From 1 July 1999, the Commonwealth Budget has been prepared under an accruals
framework.
Appropriations to the AFP for departmental outputs are recognised as revenue to the
extent they have been received into the AFP’s bank account or are entitled to

recognised as revenue in the year of appropriation, except to the extent of
•  unspent amounts not automatically carried over into the new financial year,
and
•  running costs borrowings.
Administered Appropriations
Appropriations for administered expenses are recognised as revenue to the extent that
expenses have been incurred up to the limit, if any, of each appropriation.
Appropriations for administered capital are recognised as the amount appropriated by

Resources Received Free of Charge
Services received free of charge are recognised in the Operating Statement as revenue
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.
Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are
recognised at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition, unless received
from another government agency as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative
arrangements.
In the latter case, the assets are initially recognised at the amounts at which they were
recognised by the transferring agency immediately prior to the transfer.
In prior years, net assets received under a restructuring of administrative arrangements
were recognised as revenue. From 1 July 1999, such asset transfers are designated as
transactions of owners and adjusted directly against equity.
2.7
Other Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of goods to cust
ACT 1982 (CTH)omers.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest
rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right

Employee Entitlements
Leave
The liability for employee entitlements includes provision for annual leave and long
service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-
vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of the AFP is
estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.
The liability for annual leave reflects the value of total entitlements of all employees
at 30 June 2000 and is recognised at the nominal amount.
The non-current portion of the liability for long service leave is recognised and
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect
of all employees at 30 June 2000. In determining the present value of the liability, the
AFP has taken into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and
inflation.
Separation and Redundancy
Provision is also made for separation and redundancy payments in circumstances
where the AFP has formally identified positions as excess to requirements an
ACT 1982 (CTH) d a
reliable estimate of the amount of the payments can be determined.

Note 2 (cont)
Following the introduction of a new certified agreement for AFP employees and
changes to the AFP Act during the financial year, the AFPAS scheme ceased accruing
on 5 January 2000 and is being progressively paid out to AFP employees.
As the liability is in the process of being paid out it is shown at its current value rather
than its discounted value as shown in previous years.
2.11
Leases
A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the
lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of
leased non-current assets and operating leases under which the lessor effectively
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Where a non-current asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the asset is
capitalised at the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the
lease and a liability recognised for the same amount. Leased assets are amortised over
the period of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component
and the interest expense.
Operating lease payments are charged to the AFP’s Operating Statement on a basis
which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. The
net present value of future net outlays in respect of surplus space under non-
ACT 1982 (CTH)
cancellable lease agreements, if applicable, is expensed in the period in which the
space becomes surplus.

Acquisition of Assets
Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of
acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities
undertaken.
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as
assets and revenues at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a
consequence of restructuring administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are
initially recognised at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor
agency's accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.
2.16
Property, Plant and Equipment
Asset recognition threshold
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the
Balance Sheet, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in
the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items
which are significant in total such as firearms and leasehold improvements).
Revaluations
ACT 1982 (CTH)

In the latter case, the deprival basis should be used and the
INFORMATION  v
THIS DOCUMENT IS DE-CLASSIFIED aluation at highest and
best use shown in a note.THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE
The AFP has implemented the requirements of Schedule 2 as follows:
•  firearms were revalued at 30 June 2000. These assets were previously revalued as
FREEDOM OF
at 30 June 1997;
•  infrastructure, plant and equipment have been revalued over the financial years
1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000, and thereafter over successive three year
periods, on a category basis.
Leasehold improvements at Barton Park, Majura and Weston complex were not
revalued at 30 June 1998. The improvements at Barton Park and Majura were not
revalued due to the uncertainty of the AFP continuing to occupy the properties whilst
those at Weston complex were not revalued due to the probability of extensive
renovations in the near future.
Assets in each class acquired after the commencement of the progressive revaluation
cycle will be reported at cost for the duration of the progressive revaluation then in
progress.

Note 2 (cont)
Any assets which would not be replaced or are surplus to requirements are valued at
net realisable value. At 30 June 2001 the AFP had no assets in this situation.
All valuations are independent.
Recoverable amount test
Schedule 2 requires the application of the recoverable amount test to the AFP’s non-
current assets in accordance with AAS 10 Accounting for the Revaluation of Non-
Current Assets. The carrying amounts of these non-current assets have been reviewed
to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amounts. In assessing
recoverable amounts, the relevant cash flows have been discounted to their present
value.
Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciable property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are written-off over
their estimated useful lives to the AFP using, in all cases, the straight line method of
depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the
lesser of either ten (10) years or the unexpired period of the lease.
Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at e
