Revenue recognition<br />
Revenue is measured at the fair value <strong>of</strong> consideration received or<br />
receivable. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as<br />
follows:<br />
Sale <strong>of</strong> goods<br />
Revenue is recognised from the sale <strong>of</strong> goods and disposal <strong>of</strong> other assets<br />

purchaser and can be measured reliably.<br />
Rendering <strong>of</strong> services<br />
Revenue is recognised upon delivery <strong>of</strong> the service to the client or by<br />
reference to the stage <strong>of</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> the transaction.<br />
Revenues are received in the forms <strong>of</strong> various registration, examination and<br />
licence fees (including Stamp Duty and Third Party Motor Vehicle Insurance).<br />
These revenues are received for services provided including undertaking<br />
inspections and/or issuing licences associated with the fees. As no part <strong>of</strong><br />
these charges is refundable, revenues are recognised at the time they are<br />
received.<br />
Revenues collected from traffic and cannabis infringements are<br />
administered on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Western Australian Police and are recognised<br />
when the cash is received.<br />
Revenues from the lease <strong>of</strong> land and rental <strong>of</strong> buildings are recognised as<br />
per the terms <strong>of</strong> the lease agreement.<br />
The revenue from other operating activities including rendering <strong>of</strong> services<br />
and the sale <strong>of</strong> assets are recognised when the <strong>Department</strong> has passed<br />
control <strong>of</strong> the goods or other assets or delivery <strong>of</strong> the service to the<br />
customer. Recoups <strong>of</strong> operating activities are recognised when invoiced.<br />

<strong>Department</strong> gains control <strong>of</strong> the appropriated funds. The <strong>Department</strong> gains<br />
control <strong>of</strong> appropriated funds at the time those funds are deposited into<br />
the <strong>Department</strong>’s bank account or credited to the holding account held at<br />
