The Act has provisions for four types of recovery orders: forfeiture, automatic forfeiture, pecuniary penalty and literary proceeds. Forfeiture and automatic forfeiture orders are used to recover assets generated from, or used in, a crime. Pecuniary penalty orders are debts payable to the Commonwealth for amounts based on the benefits derived from an offence or other illegal activity. Literary proceeds orders allow the Commonwealth to recover any profits made through the commercial exploitation of the notoriety gained from committing an indictable offence or a foreign indictable offence. The Act also allows for the recovery of assets derived from the commission of certain foreign indictable offences as defined in s 337A
